so as you guys can tell I have a rather large piece of technology to share with you today this is a 60-inch flat panel from Sharp the model is the LC - 60 le 8 v 7u that is a lot of letters and numbers to remember but don't worry you won't have to because I have linked this product down in the description and the link down there will actually take you to Amazon where it's being heavily discounted right now definitely go ahead and check out the link if you are interested in more information technical specifications or if you want to buy it so anyways one of the reasons I'm interested in this model is because of its video gaming capabilities I will speak more about that as the video moves forward but first some of the basic TV functionality it is a 240 Hertz display it has Wi-Fi built-in DivX bluetooth a bunch of HDMI so you have all of your standard analog inputs to go with it if you're rocking some old-school equipment there's also a PC input a couple of USB s so if you have multimedia files on a USB Drive you can use the Smart TV functionality to play back some of those files you have a bunch of HDMI inputs four of them over here as well as another USB port so two USB ports in total the display also features active 3d if you're into that and it has the quatrain color technology that sharp is famous for so all that stuff is cool but for me one of the main functions of my TV in my family room is to play video games and the problem with flat panels in the past is that they do an enormous amount of processing to your image which results in horrendous input lag now if you're unfamiliar with input lag it is not the same thing as like a refresh rate or you know motion technology which is going to cut down on motion blur this is literally the ability to get immediate response time from when you hit a button on your controller when you see that happen on the display so if there's a ton of post-processing going on to the image then when you hit that button it doesn't happen right away there could be a couple hundred milliseconds in between that process and that might not seem like a lot but if you or into like heavy-duty multiplayer gaming it can be significant it can be the difference between living and dying now this display has some of the best game modes available in the business including like high motion mode so there's a couple of different options you can you know zero in on whichever one works best for you but as mentioned it is a fully functioning smart TV as well you've got YouTube built in netflix built-in Vudu movies got some music services some really basic minigames you've got Facebook Skype Twitter built in and then some web search functionality with a web browser so pretty standard fare for you know Smart TV type offerings you can customize the interface a little bit if you want to change the appearance of it as well so a very thin 60-inch flat panel it's a 1080p display but as I said before for me the really killer functionality is its ability to play video games if you want a large flat panel to play video games on definitely take a look at sharp they've got some of the best game modes in the business with pretty much no lag when compared to their heavy duty post-processing competitors in the game mode space so before we close out today's video I want to give another big shout out to Squarespace for helping make this content possible what you're looking at right now is the official unbox therapy dot-com website which is built using Squarespace that's right I'm not talking about a service that I don't personally use I put together a website I'm really happy with using the tools over on squarespace.com and you can do it too it's probably the easiest way online to get a website up and running incredibly fast you can do all kinds of stuff like put a photo gallery you can put a store in there if you want to sell merchandise like we do we have a couple of t-shirts up on there and there are plenty of different templates to choose from so no matter what look you're going for in one night you can pretty much set something up maybe even faster than a night I mean it took me a night or two but if you're really quick with this kind of stuff you could probably do it even faster and I've got even better news for you if you want to try out the service it's completely free no obligation head over to squarespace.com slash unbox and if you decide to end up using the service long term make sure to use offer code unbox 12 to receive a special deal alright guys that wraps up this episode of unboxed era P if you enjoyed this content please remember to leave a thumbs up down below thanks as always for watching and we'll catch you on the next episode later guys
