How Nerds Watch the WORLD CUP

2018-06-30
BenQ reached out to us to showcase their TK 800 4k projector this thing is specially designed to be great for watching sports ball and since its World Cup season after all we thought why not build the dream big screen sports watching setup for nerds with the tk-421 sorry excuse me the TK 800 step one is something to actually watch the game on trust me inviting people to come over and listen to the game doesn't work nobody will show up now lots of people use home projectors for their hundred inch plus home theater setups where they have complete ambient light control and they're watching usually movies in the dark and if that's your thing then Ben cues HT 2550 is a great choice but this this is a far better one when you've got more light in the room like when you're gaming with the kids or when you're running a more social event where people want to be able to eat and talk instead of just being focused on the content that's because the TK 800 is rated at 3000 lumens of brightness it's got HDR support and it's got 92% coverage of the REC 709 color space in part thanks to its RGB W color wheel that extra slice of wheel lets white light shine through for extra brightness to overcome ambient light pollution it's not quite as easy as it sounds though if too much white comes through the image can look overcooked and washed out if you let in too little then yeah the colors will look more natural more vibrant but you won't get close to that advertised 3000 lumen brightness unless the screen is displaying a mostly white image it's all about finding the right balance next up if you're an insufferably competitive type-a like me then need some accessories to help you gloat now you could use team specific celebration tools but personally I've always found it's cheaper not to mention less likely to get demonetised to just throw as much obnoxious as possible at my friends it truly is a wonder that I have any moving on our projector would work on a plain white screen or failing that even a wall but this is Linus tech tips I mean come on so we went way over the top with a screen that costs almost as much as the projector itself this is a 100% ambient light rejecting screen and it was sent to us by our new besties at silver ticket products now a normal white screen will scatter all of the incoming light which gives it diffusion uniformity or uniform brightness across the whole screen but that means that even ambient light get scattered washing out the image an angular reflective screen like this diverts off-axis rays of light leaving the image crisp which reminds me pretty much the most physical thing about watching sports is eating as much as you possibly can and we have got our bases covered see what I did there with the bases first use Domino's is zero click app to expend as few calories as possible their app lets you order your usual with delivery to whatever address is attached to your profile then this is actually the techy part you can use if this than that to track your order progress like sending you a text when your pizza's been put in the oven or changing your Philips hue lights once it's out for delivery I think that was great but all those reminders are probably just gonna make you hungrier so you will need some munch a bowls to tide you over that is why I am jerry-rigging this pet camera a device typically used to launch treats to your pets to be my personal M&M seen it of course dispenser you guys ready all right and go seriously though for modern spectators one screen is often not enough and that is why my events are always be why ot bring your own tablet you can use it to chat with other fans online as the game unfolds hang out with a friend who's watching elsewhere or heck even watch a different sporting event all to get really rocket League it's a new sport it's not a sport so a sport well yeah how does this thing even work how much did we pay for it I put it in the front oh stop trying to put it in the back line whoa and you can wash those salty snacks down with an always cold drink thanks to this generic and very Chinese looking cooling pad oh my who said it too hard so thank you to Ben Q for sponsoring this video we had a lot of fun making it the TK 800 is a killer value 4k HDR projector and it's got support for deep healing 3d if you pick up some glasses which is not sports related but it was something to cover about the product and now seemed like the opportune moment anyway you guys can learn more about it or pick one up at any of the links in the video description we've got Amazon Best Buy Fry's BH memory express Canada computers new egg and the BenQ store so thanks for watching if you guys dislike this video you can hit that button but if you liked it hit like and subscribe me because it directly over divide us up free featured a link in the video description also down there's a mixer which has cool tricks like this one and a link to our community forum which you should totally join what did
