we're back with episode number two of my ultimate setup if you haven't seen episode number one go back and check that out this episode is about the large 50 inch 4k display above them well now a lot of people have been asking me Lou why would you need a big giant TV over top of your setup and there's a problem with that question the term mean I don't need any of this okay we're obviously pushing the limits as mentioned in that last video this is all about just creating a really cool space to sit down in where you sort of want to be and you're inspired to be anyway yes completely overkill I know that this display up here has a couple of different functions if we are looking at and edit we want to see it in full resolution up on a big display when you're dealing with such a big display and you stand incredibly close to it every little speck of dust on the white table and the white environment that I shooting becomes visible so picking up those little specks and imperfections can be difficult on a smaller display where it isn't on this one I haven't told you what display this actually is it's a Vizio P series 4k 50-inch probably the most affordable 4k that you can get when it comes to still maintaining good picture quality it has local dimming so it's not Edgeley it even has an HDMI port capable of 60 Hertz or 60 FPS now this display can still handle 1080p content just fine it'll even upscale it and it actually looks pretty damn good the input lag on this TV is amazing too for gaming if you just want to hook up a console or something like that it's one of the best 4k panels on the market now another cool thing about this display in this setup is how thin the bezel is it really fits in well with these other ultra whites it almost looks like a brother or a sibling or a cousin so this is what the remote looks like you have a dedicated Amazon button Netflix button as well as iHeartRadio and then this Vizio button for accessing your various smart applications it is a smart TV after all and the coolest thing actually happens on this side of the controller as you'll notice here you have a full QWERTY keyboard so skipping through the various applications that are pre-installed you can see you have yahoo news finance your own multimedia if you want to access that so even with all those smart functions I do like to keep an Apple TV connected to the display as well that's just because I like to use airplay for various functions for example I subscribe to MBA gametime for watching all my basketball games that I want to see and in this particular case over airplay you get a much better looking feed than you would if you just log on to the web site and watched it that way now one of the big questions with 4k televisions is how do you actually get 4k onto them well in my particular case it's kind of been easy because I posted this up to my setup and Mac Pro which means I can watch YouTube in four mega watch my own videos in 4k if I wanted to now I've got a lot of questions about these speakers the reason that they have this shape is because they're mounted so close to the wall or at least in many different installations they end up close to a wall and one of the problems with that with a square speaker rectangular speaker is that this also happens to be a point of reflection for the base port for example on the back having a round design means that this the sound has a greater ability to move around the cabinet these look a lot like be very expensive Genelec studio monitors and they are based on that idea but they're from a different company called sanam the sound is incredible for the size this is a tiny little cabinet but it's actually made out of metal this is metal guys it's not plastic you can build up an enormous amount of pressure inside of a smaller cabinet so that you can get a lot more power out of them these are also completely configurable and tunable on the back so once again depending on your placement and the way that your room is shaped you can tinker with them to make sure that you're getting an actual accurate frequency response you're going to want to use balanced cables with them but that's the case with any studio-style monitor where you're using quarter-inch or XLR plugs also when you're working with studio monitors you're going to have independent volume controls on each of the two monitors so you're going to want to make sure that those are matched up all right so let's go ahead and do a little sample of how they sound obviously you're going to be hearing this through my microphone so it's not going to be a full representation but you may be able to sort of catch an idea about the low-end capabilities of these so as you guys can tell lots of low-end there even with these tiny little cabinets and there's no subwoofer hidden anywhere so I've been blown away at the capabilities of these things alright so that wraps up this episode this installment in my ultimate setup series as you can tell there's a lot to go over in the first one we covered these ultra wide monitors in this one we covered this cool vizio p-series 4k displays it's hooked up to the setup and we also covered these Sanel metal enclosed studio monitors and coming up in the final installment we'll be talking about the smaller components we'll be talking about my keyboard my mouse my dock and if you come over here I'll give you a sneak peek at some of the other components that live at the back here we'll talk more about the computer that I'm using some of the drives that I use for backup just all the accessories that make this thing work and also some of my plans for some of these other devices like this zoom recorder over here so anyways hope you guys are enjoying this series if you are make sure to leave a thumbs up down below thanks as always for watching and I'll catch you on the next episode I'm going to turn this song back on now you
