The $1,500 Smart Room Setup Challenge! #Helpful Post

your guys johnathan here welcome to the

$1500 smart room upgrade where the idea

is to hit a certain budget and find not

only tech but other elements whether its

design accessories furniture and blend

those together to create the best

possible room setup plus with each of

these episodes I want to give one of you

a chance to make some upgrades

yourselves if you're down with that make

sure you drop a like down below now

whether it's a smart room smart home

smart apartment the coolest tech on the

planet means nothing if your Wi-Fi is

bottlenecking you so kicking off the

episode is the Linksys develop it huge

shout out to amazon for sending this out

and sponsoring this set up so develop is

this super attractive router that blends

performance with ascetic and if your

household is packed full of electronics

with people fighting over Wi-Fi this

could save your family now in this case

since we're in a single room one of

these gonna work perfectly but in the

instance we have a larger apartment or

maybe home you can actually get these in

a pack of up to three and spread them

out evenly so you can get the fastest

possible Wi-Fi across your home now the

instance where you are using more than

one of these what's awesome is they work

in a mesh Wi-Fi configuration and what

that means is whether it's 1 2 or 3

they're gonna perform and function as a

singular network that way you're not

worrying about develop one develop to

bill up three multiple passwords losing

your mind it's one and that keeps things

simple now one of these is going to give

you 2,000 square feet of coverage so

that's an easy way to figure out how

many of these you would need to cover

your room or a house you double that

it's gonna give you 4,000 and if you

triple them you're getting a whopping

six thousand square feet of coverage now

design wise this thing is surprisingly

compact compared to other options out

there what's cool is the antenna is

actually placed towards the top which is

gonna give you better coverage and it

does a fantastic job at minimizing

cables which is gonna prevent you from

having that rat's nest

so overall looks great it performs great

there's a really cool companion out to

give you more flexibility and control

and if you've been looking for a Wi-Fi

upgrade this might be your guy or girl

depending how you look at an inanimate

object so next up this is definitely one

of the more outside of the box ideas

I've tried to put together the intent

here was a kick back and relax pot so

what I have behind me is a pair of

hectar lamps from Ikea which definitely

have that life-size Pixar action but

what makes a setup unique is inside the

lamps I threw a singlet pulse LED kit

which actually have speakers inside the

light bulbs now it's awesome as these

lights and speakers will actually sync

together and play music back in stereo

which creates

really cool immersive setup so what I'm

gonna do is actually hop into Spotify

and play some music through these guys

shout out to Ed Sheeran for dropping

some great music so does definitely a

mind trip hearing light bulbs fire music

down at U and stereo but it's a really

cool way to chill out and kind of get

lost in your own world I will say though

if you consider yourself to be an

audiophile or you used to really

high-end systems you're probably not

gonna like this but if you're looking

for something different unique this

setup is really cool so next up is for

anyone looking to add some extra pixels

in their life behind me is the LG 43

uh-60 100 which is a 43 inch 4k TV for

just about 500 bucks now what's awesome

is this is using an IPS panel so you're

getting great colors great viewing

angles and in terms of entry-level price

4k TVs this is definitely one of the

better options out right now what I

particularly like about this though is

LG's webOS interface which is one of

these simplest ways to navigate through

a TV some of them out there make you

want to smash your face with your remote

but this is simple there's built-in

netflix built-in hulu built-in youtube

so you can watch videos like this in

crispy 4k without buying anything

externally the picture quality combined

with the colors the pricing the

interface make this a really enticing

upgrade if you're looking to ditch your

potato TV now below that is the Amazon

basics TV sound bar which is one of the

best inexpensive options to upgrade your

sound while TV speakers are getting

better and better I always personally

like to use either sound bar or

dedicated speakers while watching

because it really enhances the overall

experience so this guy it's 31 inches in

length and optimized to be used with TVs

42 inches or less in this case we are

using a 43 inch TV because thug-life so

if you're one of those people out there

who follows the rules and the

instructions down to the T this might

not be the setup for you but you can see

side-by-side they actually pair really

well together on top of being assembled

for your TV there's also built-in

Bluetooth and that's cool because you

can also connect your phone or your

tablet and stream music from there so

with other very similar sound bars out

there price upwards of a hundred to two

hundred bucks this thing for 70 bucks is

a steal now what I have a TV and sound

bar housed on is the IKEA get tour not

sure if I'm pronouncing that correctly

this is a really great-looking TV stand

that is

around a hundred bucks what I like about

this is how it blends both aluminum and

glass it's clean and kind of just

screams classy so last up is the Amazon

tap you guys assume we cover the echo

the echo dot and this brings you Alexa

functionality but in a portable

bluetooth package now it's a little

different the sense that you're not

gonna burble II say out loud the name

I'm not gonna say to trigger your device

you actually press the microphone button

here add a giant gummy bear to my card

okay I've added giant gummy bear visit

your car to check out on top of that

beyond the Alexa functionality this is

actually a really solid Bluetooth

speaker

it's got great sound quality gets really

loud and if you haven't yet added a

Bluetooth speaker and Alexa into your

life this is a great one-two punch now
