Vertagear PL6000 - A Super Sized Gaming Chair!

2016-11-22
Gaming chair videos always make me anxious to view in the comments section that's because there are a highly subjective topic to discuss since everyone has their own taste when it comes to comfort aesthetics price and reliability some people prefer those thirty dollar office chairs from Ikea while others feel more comfortable with a high-end Herman Miller chair or Steelcase office chair every human body is made differently and because of that finding a one design fits all chair is impossible I was perfectly happy with my previous office chair and a sudden shift towards a gaming chair made me realize that there was a lot more flexibility to this and I got used to it almost instantaneously to be honest with you I have never reviewed a gaming chair before but my good old friend Dimitri has been through a lot of them he concluded that the industry was constantly doing something wrong with the lateral support of the backrest and I think vertigo might have addressed that issue and much more but before we talk about that quick message from our sponsor the new NZXT s340 elite what makes it so elite we've got a gorgeous tempered glass panel extra vr ports improved tail management and an awesome magnetic buck the name is fitting elite features at the good price s340 elite check out our description below what you're looking at here is a new gaming chair from vortigese pline series called EPL 6000 priced a little under $450 this is targeted towards a certain type of audience who prefer more space for movement and also better ergonomics I'll admit there are a variety of gaming chairs available in the market today with varying price points but how does the pl 6000 stack up we'll find out voted gear is pushing the boundaries when it comes to the assembly process normally assembling a chair requires an extra set of hands but I found it to be very simple this time around first you have to insert the wheels into the aluminum star-shaped base then you attach the metal base frame underneath the seat with the included pre-mounted screws note that there's a certain direction to mount this so look for that particular portion in the instruction manual at this point you also have to make sure not to adjust the lever as this would complicate the process the backrest assembly was just as simple as sliding it into the brackets on the seat and installing the two custom m8 screws on each side there are no plastic covers to hide the bracket on the back because everything is integrated inside this part it adds an extra bit of character to the aesthetics and I quite like it quick mention on my sample I had to wiggle the backrest a little bit for the custom screws to pass through but that issue has been corrected on recent shipments I happen to have the red and black variant of this chair but you can choose for other options that consists of black blue green and white accents the color scheme continues it's trended through the included lumbar cushion and the neck pillow you will definitely get a sense that this is a gaming chair and that may or may not be appealing to some buyers the casters also feature color matching rings which is a nice touch and they're built pretty well my office is covered in carpets the friction is a lot higher than using this chair on a wooden floor vert agir is working on an auto break version of these casters so I'm looking forward to that in the future the material choice here is PVC leather which is easier to clean and maintain due to its stain resistant and water resistant characteristics the downside to this type of material is the heat concentration levels something I experienced with the SL 5000 - now what verdaguer has done to combat this issue is implement tiny open-celled spots on the scene and backrest to give a little bit of breathing room for your body over my usage I noticed a slight amount of heat buildup and that should be obvious given the almost dangerous amount of time I spent at my desk writing scripts and editing videos if you live in a country like Canada it might be an advantage during the cold winter days seat adjusting capabilities are also a very crucial aspect of a gaming chair and the pl 6000 delivers everything I've ever wanted there's a good range of height adjustment the backrest can be adjusted from 80 degrees all the way up to 140 degrees and I've started to lean all the way back occasionally to take short breaks and sometimes it's the perfect setting to zone out listening to my favorite tunes the armrest provides four directional settings so in this case you can push the on most forward and backwards as well as pull it towards you there's plenty of room for height adjustment and finally you'll have the option to angle the rests I was able to find the right position within a short amount of time but if you prefer to eliminate the armrest all you have to do is remove these screws holding these parts underneath the seat with the included allen key the tilt lock mechanism can be used in five different positions to better suit your comfort level all right so welcoming change over the traditional adjusting knob plus I uses every single day to lock my position for a straight posture during editing sessions and now on to the critical part of reviewing a gaming chair comfort I have to admit I enjoyed my time sitting on this chair there's plenty of room for maneuverability and that's exactly what the pl 6000 was designed for I'm 6 foot tall and have broad shoulders and the backrest seemed perfect for my size the sides are not too edgy or high so the tension is very minimal and that's a thumbs up the main portion of the backrest is mostly flat which might be a problem for some especially if you want to achieve a straight posture normally a human beings bat consists of a gentle curve and I found myself slouching forward due to this flat design on the backrest and I don't think it would serve the purpose of an office chair now this is where the lumbar cushion comes into play but honestly there lies a problem first of all there's no way to permanently fix this on the chair and second the padding was a little too thick for me and I tried to find the perfect sweet spot for it and unfortunately no luck on the other hand if you prefer to lean all the way back in other words up for the maximum tilting position it's a comforting experience sitting on the PL 6000 adjust the lever a little backward and casually just take short breaks or zone out listening to music the seat was comfortable to the padding is a little too far on the stiffer side which might not be your cup of tea but I found it to be very relaxing the sights are slightly angled higher but that doesn't disrupt thigh movement and there's plenty of room for that if you're that guy who likes to place one leg under the other this chair it's definitely worth taking a look remember opinions can vary depending on your taste but all I can tell you is this if you're a user design for more space and comfort especially for your backrest verdaguer might have delivered one of the best in that category with VPL 6000 lb the flat design on the backrest could be a problem if you're trying to achieve a straight posture for office and such but if you prefer a more relaxed position like leaning all the way backward while gaming it's a comforting experience on the PL 6000 the assembly process was simpler than the SL 5000 and the seating is comfortable plus the chair is built really well the material choice is something I'm interested especially when summer hits here in Canada and considering the price I would recommend this to anyone looking for a proper gaming chair like all peripherals I do however recommend you try it out before you buy it so what are your thoughts on the new PL 6000 a gaming chair from verdaguer would you consider upgrading your existing normal chairs or even your gaming chair and for those of you own an actual gaming chair I'd like to start an open discussion with you guys regarding your experience and concerns plus if you have any suggestions leave them in the comment section down below i'm eber with hurricane axe thank you so much for watching and we'll see you in the next one
