$150 Walmart TV FAIL! #Helpful Post

 

$150 Walmart TV FAIL! #Helpful Post

ven't really reached a

consensus on why exactly it is we are

doing this video do you mind grabbing an

end oh wow I don't need it it's really

not very heavy but thank you anyway he

figures it's because well we keep doing

all these cheap display videos yeah and

then we were doing these Walmart videos

yeah

so why not just make a sandwich of those

two you know what sure let's go with

that so this is the 43 inch LED HDTV

class full class and we're gonna find

out if how much does this thing cost I

think a hundred and sixty eight bucks

some people have got it for 125 on

clearance we're gonna find out if the 43

inch 125 dollar TV is worth one hundred

and twenty five dollars if it even makes

it to you alive really shaking your head

and this video is brought to you behind

story blogs story blocks offers to use

studio-quality stock video clips for a

fraction of the cost

check out story blocks at the link in

the video description

I think we should actually assess the

the shipping and packaging this it has a

huge gen it's possible or possibly it's

possible that Tyler drop-kicked this but

I don't think so and the reason I'm

doing a concern is because inside

there's really not a lot of extra

packaging so not only is this a cheaper

a hard type foam but this is cheaper

among the hard type foam packing

materials that I've encountered did you

see the way that piece just came apart

okay can we do a video together with you

not throwing absolutely no video no it's

in my contract there's nothing we crunch

there's nothing a front small correction

just after mine and James's styrofoam

fight to the death we actually found

that there is a little bit more

protection on the panel side there's

this piece of cardboard it weighs like

nothing the spec sheet says eighteen

point five pounds but it feels lighter

doesn't it just because it's so big it's

like there's nothing in it so there's

our IR receiver on a little PCB there

there's our stereo speakers that I have

oh very high expectations for I will say

that cheap TVs have come a long way in

terms of their i/o or at least I don't

know this one has so it's got an audio

pass-through so if you have HDMI audio

coming in from your cable box or your

console or whatever you can pass that

through to your standalone speakers

optical in or out unclear at this time

and then you've got actually component

in as well as composite and then you've

also got three actually three HDMI

count'em three HDMI ports including one

with audio return channel so that's neat

cabling

what is this big that some kind of old

people connector and of course there's

one USB port which I mean it's nice to

have especially since this is not a

smart TV so if you want to have any

Smart TV features you're gonna have to

get like a fire TV stick or Roku

wherever they call theirs yeah so at

least you can power something with it

even if you don't want to just load

videos onto a USB thumb drive and plug

them into your TV like my parents did

until actually I'm pretty sure they

still do that it's got a base amount and

you can probably just double-sided tape

it to the wall for how much good waste

I'm kidding don't do that but like holy

crap that's even with a metal backing

like this isn't even a plastic backing

like the panel itself was just way

nothing

and it's not like it has an external

power brick or anything eat it wait

where's the stand are you there you go

that is not very impressive like I

sincerely hope this thing is decent but

this is one of the sort of issues that I

take with low-cost electronics is that

because they have a very limited

lifespan both in terms of how long

they're gonna just continue to work and

in terms of their features and no real

resale value they tend to generate a lot

of waste it feels like compared to

higher end stuff it depends on who buys

these things if you look at their page

it looks like who they're targeting or

the type of the people who actually are

still using a CRT you guys see what just

happened there on the description page

it says is your TV 20 years old and

blurry you are a lie so I think this is

like for grandpa when he finally makes

the switch because this giant CRT is

just actually kick the bucket after 25

years blue team left team left hold on

hold on think you can do with one hand

ha no look did you hear that I think

we're OK I don't think I didn't cracked

but yeah you got to have somebody to

push against

oh man this is great

integrated button layout they like they

have this on here as though that's some

kind of desirable feature but instead of

can I power it on it's plugged in

instead of a joystick configuration it's

this like orbiting configuration that

just kind of feels like nothing to the

back of your hand and obviously you're

not gonna like you're not gonna leave

this stupid sticker here so you just

have to kind of like guess this isn't

even the good Pete like the good peeling

peel this is just like tape yeah it just

feels like a like packing tape oh my joy

is so Rob oh bottom ones not too bad

this is like lady in the Tramp oh I mean

at least it does have an included remote

control oh I wasn't gonna show you that

until later cuz I wanted you to struggle

with the buttons on the back people in

the house put your hands in the egg yeah

you don't care no we don't care

we've got picture roads oh it comes in

eco by default that's interesting I

wonder if that's part of their like good

power efficiency ratings that they just

like dim the friggin backlight out of

the box kind of makes sense cuz a lot of

the reviews on Walmart's product page

say how you absolutely must change it to

dynamic picture mode video or graphic

that could be like an image return

retention thing oh you know what it

might be is like like a limited versus

full range mode maybe this will become

more clear on to have a signal going

through and you can actually see how it

jazz so what sound mode are we supposed

to choose movie movie sound and dynamic

picture is what everyone says makes it

mint

if mint is like a flavor you detest it's

mint voice guidance please keep this on

how do you like it I feel like we're

disabling how that is this thing Daisy

it sounds so sad alright alright alright

oh let me help you with that

thank you so this was the hold on a

second

yeah the fact that you got signal okay

please don't interrupt me on the fact

that we got a signal is actually pretty

nice because there's a lot of people in

the reviews saying how they either

connected to the computer and it didn't

work or they connected to a dongle and

it didn't work or all these different

things so so far I've connected this to

an Amazon fire stick and a computer and

it's worked so bless up so graphic is

how you get rid of overscan what so no

it doesn't have to do with like limited

versus full range black levels it's how

you do like just scan like pixel one to

one pixel mapping instead of having it

over skinned it's been a while since

I've looked at a 1080p display from this

close it ain't great it's not a great

experience I remember there was this guy

that I used to go to LAN parties with

back when I had a life I mean sort of I

went to LAN parties and I don't even

think his was 1080p and he was like yeah

that's great I'm like yo it's like

measurably like like with the like with

the measuring tape not great just play

it up for properties or these gonna come

up

that's weird I've never seen this they

hope they come up is that because it

you have no properties that windows are

homeless they don't call it windows for

nothing here have all the windows

windows 10 at least they're allowing you

to close them in whatever order you want

all right so I guess probably like what

we want to watch some content on it like

really we're gonna watch mkbhd instead

of our own channel you know what fine

he's not gonna copyrights frankest

so I guess this was your agenda here you

pulled up mkbhd because you figured well

we want something with known good audio

and we can't always trust ourselves so

we can properly evaluate the speakers

fine I can take it you clicked on this

he sounds like ass no offense

yeah like no offense dude 10 grand for

that machine the a Mac Pro starts that

somehow it really does sound like it's

coming from like under the table or

something I was watching infinity war

yesterday on Netflix and it was

basically like everybody was in the

bottom of a barrel but like like it

somehow doesn't sound like it's coming

from here it somehow sounds like it's

coming from lower let's watch a trailer

this is a great hold on this is a great

freeze-frame with him

that's exactly my thoughts on this TV

Ron action I rewatched this recently it

was still good I liked it did you put

the movie mode now let me check let me

check okay oh just like glitched out

you're gonna go to the menu that's

this might actually be worse like I can

barely like make out the dialogue even

though this is like a trailer and

typically the dialogue is so I did some

I ran Cal man and I can I can I do a

subjective evaluation it looked like

weird artifacts in my eyes oh do you see

that is that a compression issue with

playback or is that the TV that is not

handling darks very well you can

actually see the same thing in my mouth

I actually need to grab a laptop no

that's not present on the laptop what do

you think just the colors overall I mean

they're not right but they don't stand

out to me as particularly terrible

there's not a lot of depth there's some

over saturation going on in the default

profile here at the very least it's less

noticeable in this kind of a dark scene

but here you can really see that's not a

very natural look for me oh oh wow that

is really overdone sorry people suggest

this mode yes that doesn't even look

like would launch pull up the results

here okay and this is in dynamic or

standard this one's dynamic standard

didn't fare too much better so to be

clear guys a delta e of less than 2 is

considered color accurate with less than

5 being fine for consumer-grade this is

anywhere from an average it's an average

of twelve point six and a maximum of 23

so we have dots here that are so far off

their boxes it's hard to tell what box

that it went with color space 97% of

srgb is that right yeah that's actually

not terrible should we play some games

check out the input lag all right well

if we had any doubt that the scaler in

it is a steaming pile of hot garbage

resolved on its a pokemon so we selected

a fast paced game to evaluate the TVs

input leg because I could actually see

this making a ton of sense for like just

like a side room like that like a den or

something where you just play video

games and it doesn't need to be the most

cinematic or kids like a rec room for

the console gang exactly exactly

now that's weird is this like Oprah's

over sharpening artifact or is this

because of the low res like these are

look at my edges of these strands they

look like a cheap stereo 3d effect or

something because of how sharpened they

are now I had another idea you know how

I was saying that it was hard for me to

tell if the issue was to do with just

the low resolution I haven't looked at a

1080p display from this close up in a

long time so we can figure out if it's

sharpness or if it's low res by just

adjusting it and it was definitely

that's right

wow that looks so much better and the

crazy thing too is like yeah text here -

same thing now I can make out the low

contrast more easily now oh that was

probably the I know it's still kind of

there yeah it's still there you know

what though honestly it's not that hard

to tell it's not that there's no game

mode but and it's not amazing but

considering this is a 60 Hertz display

this is very very usable for sure so

really what it's competing with then is

the Septor model that was how much 230

bucks so 50 bucks more and how big 50

inches 50 inches

now what sceptre we actually had pretty

good luck with those guys when we did

the cheapest 4k monitor on Amazon that

was a sceptre oh I got a peach we got a

good one and from the reviews on Amazon

they're pretty hit or miss so what would

you do do you buy this one turn the

sharpness off and enjoy the the dynamic

feeder quality set oh yeah you have to

factor in an extra 70 bucks for an entry

level sambar just so you can hear

dialogue you for watching The Evening

News so at that point I think I would

just spend

a little higher or if if you want to

chip out just get something used so we

want to hear from you guys in the

comments below

they both had kind of bad speakers and

kind of bad color this one had worse

color but do you take the scepter 4k but

smaller display that we featured last

time or do you take the online 1080p 43

inch one or do you just go used or do

you step up a little bit in the product

stack do you want us to take a look at

that sceptre 50 inch in the future let

us know we will be reading them because

I think we are far from done with cheap

displays can it run at 120 Hertz like

can you overclock it did we try no

didn't try all right well that didn't

work but you do you know what does story
