welcome to the unboxing that actually serves a couple of purposes so for one we're going to have a look at the Samsung PDP 59 inch series 6 6500 plasma displays so this is a 59 inch but check this out so they're calling this plasma plus one because due to the slim bezel design of this particular plasma TV samsung figures you get about an extra inch out of it so 59 inch actually turns into a 60 inch viewable display one thing I noticed about the plasma display so we're actually in the brand-new NCIX location if you and I just do a quick count around so this is going to be for Samsung showcases so you can see we've got a lot of seven some TVs and we're gonna happen definitely unbox and check out for you guys here one thing I've noticed about the plasma boxes is that they come in significantly wider boxes so I guess that's to prevent any damage from appearing to the panel if it falls over on its side seems like it's a little bit more fragile than LCD in that way so the first thing we find when we open it up is the mount so this is going to allow us to I'm just gonna put this on that little pillar here so this is going to allow us to mount the actual panel to the stem there's also a little thing in there but presumably how to do it alright let's take out some of these packing materials so this display is actually good on the other side of the room I'm opening it in front of this backdrop which is actually going to be for an LCD display although most of the general advantages and features and specs are going to be pretty similar it's about 3d it's got samsung's Smart TV features which allow you to watch youtube videos browse Twitter all of that good stuff on this particular display we've got a great-looking brushed aluminum base here although for me the base of the TV has never been a huge sticking point if you are putting this somewhere where the base will be a factor because your mind you can't even actually see it if you're putting us somewhere where the base will be a factor that you're gonna want it to look pretty nice so I think they definitely achieve that so I'm gonna go ahead and what else we got in here in terms of accessories look I think this boxes I could like to pick myself in there and even I can't even reach down to the TV so I'm going to be removing the plasma display being careful a lot to not to lay it down flat or turn it upside down and we'd have to do this off-camera with the help of cameramen because I can't do it myself it's really big and really Kennedy TV's been extracted but due to my short stature and short on I still can't get the app the mobile accessories up yeah this is what it takes this is now dedicated I am to unboxing I will even get inside the box if that is what is required of me so inside this bag you wiII find a bunch of interesting stuff including look at that they've got an adapter for component input honestly new stuff like this you're not really gonna want to be using component input but if you so require then you have at least the option these look like fairly thin cables and for an analogue signal that does matter but there you go so that's kind of your backup there this is one of those interference reduction doohickeys with the magnets and the whatnots so I'm gonna go ahead and presume that's for power cord or something along those lines okay warranty information it is a one-year for all plasmas labor and parts okay but first we got Samsung Smart TV so here's some accessories including hopefully in English somewhere okay well I'll do my best here hold on oh maybe this is English yeah there we go so a Skype TV camera you got a wireless LAN adapter wireless router installation solution ultra slim wall mount oh that's kind of cool okay neat as well as 3d glasses wide variety of 3d glasses including those lightweight ones that we have on display at our new Vancouver store that are actually quite comfortable compared to other 3d glasses some safety instructions okay we got a cleaning cloth we got another one of those interference traductor doohickeys we got a couple triple-a batteries and then we have the Samsung remote so this one doesn't come with the party remote I believe that's reserved for some of the very high-end models so this looks a very similar to the remote that I have for my TV so give me a sec here guys I'm gonna climb out of this box and then we'll get TV assembled here so we're ready for the unveiling of the TV itself which member mannan helped me get the machine ear position this rang tonight it opened up and there we have it a lot gets sent about plasma versus style CD and something that there seems to also be a ton of confusion about is LCD vs. LED I just want to clarify with you guys a little bit that LED and LCD are the same thing it's just a different backlight technology that is going behind the LCD panel so an LCD is typically an LCD panel that the cathode back way and then an LED TV is an LCD panel with LEDs behind it so this is a plasma TV which means neither those are factors in the design of this particular TV so advantages some disadvantages as a platform the advantage is the very responsive screen compared to your typical large format LCD another advantage is cost plasma panels tend to be in less expensive than equivalent LCD or LED panels quite slim due to the technology involved so with typically with cathode backlit LED that's the I'm doing I'm getting confused with Catholic backlit LCD a little bit more space behind plasmas and the leading backlit LCD s don't have that disadvantage however the plasmas there is also the risk of a slightly less satisfying image quality in a less than completely dark room so if you guys want to see them side-by-side the best thing to do is going to be to come to the new NCIX store in aberdeen mall once it opens i in the next couple weeks here and check out all the tvs yourselves did you give me a second off camera what i'm gonna do is i'm going to throw it on the stand and then i'll give you guys a chance to check out all the input notebooks and all that good stuff so here we go back we've got it unveiled for the most part installing this fan took us about two minutes so we just you take that back piece actually here if you want to come around and have a look at the back from the other side so you take this bracket right here this guy you just keep the TV sitting upright and you can actually slide it into place without even picking up the TV at all so then you screw on the four screws here then you just position the base correctly somewhere wherever you want to put it you lower the entire TV down it balances and then you just put in the four screws here oh wait actually that's not really you're supposed to do it right you're supposed to put this onto here first that way you can put in all four screws I only put in two screws but it seems to be okay it's not going anywhere for now bear in mind I mean the way that I would be mounting a TV like this if I'm installing it in my home is using a wall mount anyway it's so slim you might as well take advantage of all the space you have in your room because 16 inch screen you're going to need some distance from it so it does have the nice amount of holes here so let's go ahead and have a look at what we've got for inputs and outputs we've got USB 1 & 2 one of these is for a hard drive remember this is a smart TV so you've got all those advanced features built in digital audio out that's optical right there we've got four HDMI ins including one that is optimized for DVI so if you have a PC for example you might want to use it for that one as well as PC audio and just using your typical standard headphone jack type interface down here we've also got VGA in your antenna in and then down here we've got that composite adapter dude as well as our land port and e.x link so that pretty covers it for the back so the cameraman sort of brought to my attention that while I did say that plasma TVs were less expensive than LED LCD tvs typically he's like well yeah this is still a very expensive TV and it's a good point because you know yeah it is but it does have all the Smart TV features and does have 3d support it also has good look and everything and it's still cheaper than an equivalent LED backlit LCD TVs so if you do have a nice dark room that you're gonna put your TV in then the plasma is definitely an option so I thank you guys for checking out our video of the 6500 class plasma TV from Samsung so this is a 59 inch TV but it's actually a 60-inch TV don't forget to subscribe - technics for unboxings reviews and other computer videos and oh yeah cameraman is probably raging inside because I haven't mentioned the brushed aluminum sort of looking finish brushed metal finish around the bezel which actually looks really nice it's a two-tone so it's black here silver here but they are both using the same style of finish and then you've also got good clear plastic outside so they know I've mentioned it so cameraman actually expressed some confusion that our 60-inch Plasma here was going to be the 3d demo he figured samsung would probably want to use their LED LCD TV and sort of one of the points i brought up to him is that this is where the plasma TV is going to go on this time of the store here between E logo plasmas response times just are an inherent value of this particular technology are actually ideal for 3d versus LCDs which take a little bit longer to change over from one image to another which is perfect when you're trying to show one image to one eye my name is to the other eye with chatter glasses so that's probably why Samsung opted to use this particular plasma from the 3d demo inside the and it's gotta accent some showcase here
