65" Sony 4K Ultra HD TV Unboxing & Overview (XBR65X900A)

2013-05-22
what's up guys it's Lew from unbox therapy and today I've got a really exciting video for you what you're looking at is a 4k television from Sony if you're unfamiliar with this business that means you're looking at 3840 by 2160 pixels way beyond the resolution of 1080p this is the future you're looking at folks the exact model is the XP are 6 5 X 900 a of course the 6 v stands for 65 inches this is a 65 inch display so a fairly nice size to go with that awesome resolution but this is a little bit wider the box is huge and the reason for that is because there are also speakers on each side of the display and these speakers are actually pretty good you're looking at 65 watts each and there's even a little subwoofer building to give you a little bit more low-end then you'd expect to get out of a flat panels built-in audio so you can have that minimal look get this thing mounted up on your wall and not have such a need to go out and get an aftermarket audio solution because this one has some decent speakers built into it so as you guys can tell this is a huge box and that means I've got to do a slightly different style of unboxing video this is not going to fit on your usual table so instead here I'm going to go ahead and remove the loose components first including some 3d glasses yes this display supports 3d passive 3d and the glasses are really light and really comfortable to wear of course you can have I glasses underneath them if you need to wear eyeglasses there's a couple of remotes included I think the reason for that is one is just a little bit more minimal a little bit more simplistic and smaller whereas the other one is more full-featured and something I like on this remote is the dedicated Netflix button I think that's a cool addition both remotes look really nice and I can't really complain having an extra one because you know these things get misplaced from time to time and nobody likes that getting back to the display as I try to get it out of the box here I do want to say a little bit about it it is an LED display in terms of technology and it does have local dimming so you are getting you know high-end specs everywhere else besides the fact that it happens to be a 4k display getting it set up is actually pretty easy to do just like any other flat even if this one happens to be a little bit bigger a little bit wider you just have to line it up on the base and then go ahead and screw the base in and then you're ready to install it wherever it is that you want to put it you will need a fairly large space for a 65 inch this thing is fairly imposing so you can watch me here struggle with some of the packaging these these are never really that elegant to unbox but I think it's interesting nonetheless to take a look at what you do when you get something like this at your house this is a little cover piece for the back after you get the base installed you can use that piece to cover up some of the hardware here's a closer look at the base and it is circular and it has like a chrome-plated finish so it should fit into any high-end environment if you choose not to mount the thing on the wall you're going to need to install these four screws into the back of the television that's what secures it to the base you're going to want to make sure it's secure this is not a cheap television this is actually a good time to mention if you guys are interested in checking out this TV for yourself if you want to see more specs if you want to see pricing and availability I will have links down in the description including a link to future shop I want to give them a big shout out especially the young and Dundas location for allowing me to play around with this thing even though it is such an expensive and new technology the back of the display features all of the ports and inputs that you would expect to have on a high-end television including a bunch of HDMI s a cable / antenna input you've got component input composite so all your analog stuff that you may or may not want to use you have an internet port even though you don't need to use that land you can use Wi-Fi since the TV does have it if you prefer to go that route you've got optical in you have a special HDMI that supports the MHL protocol what that means you can connect mobile devices like your phone or tablet or anything that supports that and then you can put your display from that mobile device up onto the larger screen so anyways here you can see a nerve-racking experience of us lining it up onto this little stand I want to give big props to Kirk for helping me out on doing that give him a thumbs up down below for jumping into the video but as you can see this is a beautiful looking display you know there's going to be sort of mixed feelings on the speakers on the side for people whether or not that something they want to add on their own or if they like the integrated look I'm personally a fan of it I think having them there is a positive thing it means you can mount this up on the wall in a minimal fashion and not really feel the need to have some third party solution to go with it it can just look really elegant and really simple and a lot of people end up with these flat panels in their houses and they don't put external audio on there anyways so this is definitely a step in the right direction in terms of improving the vast majority of people's audio anyways let's talk about the image that's the main thing here I had a limited amount of 4k content that I could actually look at there's really only the in TV demo which was some still images and it's very hard to portray to you in this video exactly what 4k looks like if you haven't seen it in person and of course you're not watching this video in 4k but this was making us just giddy as hell we were laughing our heads off we were just so happy seeing it's in person because the detail is un-freakin'-believable I was trying to get my lens to pick it up as you can see in that shot of the strawberries there but a lot of what people are going to be doing with these TVs at least in the short term is using them for 1080p content you know for blu-rays and whatnot because there's just not a lot of 4k content available including the fact that game consoles don't output 4k so here you can see the 1080p trailer for spider-man the latest spider-man and the absque ailing is actually pretty impressive Sony's using something called the x-reality pro picture engine and that's what's going to upscale your 1080p coverage footage whatever you wanna call it up into 4k now we had different results depending on what we were doing the the spider-man trailer for example looked really good games not so much I had a limited selection of games to try out but they didn't look that great in fact they kind of looked maybe even a little bit worse than just on a 1080p display probably because of all that conversion that's happening granted we are sitting only a couple of feet from it so maybe I was being you know a little bit more critical than I would normally be but the whole intent here is to get stuff that's going to eventually support 4k resolution and then you can really start to take advantage of these 4k TV anyways very impressive nonetheless I can't wait until these things become the standard and I get one in my own house very very cool to get a chance to look at if you guys are interested in pricing and availability once again the links are down below if you enjoyed this video make sure to leave a thumbs up it does help out a bunch and other than that I will catch guys on the next video later
