what's going on everyone it's ravage consumer and today I'm going to be showing you my ultimate living room set up and all right guys let's start this off by talking about the center of the living room the TV what I've got here is Samsung 55 inch curved 4k Smart TV and I'll have links to the exact model as well as everything else shown in this video in the description if you want to keep up with the times you've got to have 4k and as someone who shoots in 4k it'd be pretty blasphemous to still rock a 1080p screen I mean I have used Samsung televisions in the past and we've been really happy with the picture quality so we went with them again this time around and we weren't disappointed the picture quality is great and when watching 4k content you'd be amazed at how much detail there is and since this is also a smart TV you get access to the Smart Hub and a ton of apps from Hulu Plus to Netflix and tons more this thing is quite a few more features like access to PlayStation now being able to use your remote as a pointer so you don't have to hit a ton of buttons to access certain menus a multi view screen option so you can view two sources at once and a bunch more but I can't fit them all into this video but I gotta say I'm super happy with this TV now we've got a really nice TV but let's talk about the things I used to get the most out of it there are quite a few different set top box options to choose from nowadays but what really caught my eye and earned one of my HDMI spots is the Nvidia shield the shield is running Google's Android TV software with some nice bonuses of course from Nvidia now the first thing that separates this from the others for me is being able to stream 4k content to my 4k television surprisingly enough you can find 4k content on Netflix and of course here on YouTube since it is running Android TV you get access to all Google Play services and you also get voice integration through the built-in mic on the controller and remotes this is awesome for searching and pulling up info it's also great to command the shield when you want to apps and access other features and being made by Nvidia you know gaming is involved this thing is packing the NVIDIA Tegra x1 processor so it can handle some pretty hardcore stuff like war thunder doom 3 and even half-life 2 one of the features I was really surprised and happy to see was the ability to use the shield hub to stream games from the cloud you can imagine my excitement when I was able to stream games like Devil May Cry 4 right to my TV gaming on this is pretty comfortable with their wireless controller and if you played console games before you'll feel right at home here and this thing features Google cast so if you're looking to stream media from your phone or tablet straight to your TV you can do it with just a press of a button since you guys know I'm pretty big on gaming I had to include all the current gen consoles from the ps4 to the Wii U and of course the Xbox one you're not finding any fanboys here so no matter what your cup of tea is I've got options I love options now I'm a pretty huge Sony fan and I love my ps4 but I have to admit the Xbox one Kinect is a massive part of this setup it's such a big deal I have to set it up on this tiny tripod made for the Kinect right under the TV but it does have a ps4 camera on top whether we want to turn on or off the TV watch a particular channel since we do still own a cable box open up apps play and pause whatever we're watching control volume you get the drift area and I find it so much easier and faster to use our voice then to look for a remote or wait for the Xbox one controller to wake up I know people are scared of the Kinect or think it's useless but I think Microsoft was really onto something with this thing and it absolutely changed the way we use our television now that you've got a solid rundown of my TV and how I use it it'd be nothing well not nothing but it wouldn't be as impressive without some amazing sound to go with it so I've got a pretty solid home theater system set up to give me some exquisite surround sound I went with full Sonos gear including the play bar for frontal audio as well as two solos play ones on each side of my couch and the sono sub for some deep bass I've had surround sound speakers hooked up to my eye Mack for a few years but I've got to say using this is quite a different experience you get some crazy rich audio with some thunderous bass and it really is called a home theater system for a reason in since I use play music as my streaming service of choice I can use my Nvidia shield to jam out whenever I want if you're looking to make a serious investment into your sound game I would definitely look into these now this makes up most of the entertainment side of things but I did check out my living room so you'll find little things in a lot of places you wouldn't expect all of my lamps are filled with philips hue bulbs so I can change the mood or the look of the room whenever I want and under my TV I've got a Philips hue strip to add a little flair to the area I also picked up a logitech harmony universal remote so it can control most of the things you find here you can access and control to Phillip Hughes lights my sono system and obviously the TV you can even configure activities to create a certain setting at the push of a button depending on what you want to set the room up for under my coffee table you'll find the MacBook Bear so anyone sitting on the sofa can access a laptop whenever they need it you can also find a pair of v-moda m100 headphones with their boom mic under my lamp in case you want to talk in a party chat while playing one of the systems or simply use it to listen to TV audio without disrupting anyone else I make I use those all the time when I'm recording and while it may not be tech per se we also have a little fun section that holds our nerf guns and a secret chest with tons of Pokemon cards and decks yes people we are adults but that about wraps it up for my ultimate living room setup guys any setup I have will always be a work in progress so I definitely plan to add more text to this area as time goes on and when it's ready I'll have a 2.0 video for you guys if you guys have any awesome recommendations to further tech out this living room definitely leave me a comment down below and while you're down there be the cool guy that gives this video a thumbs up and I'll catch you guys in the next video till then it's your average consumer base
