classic living room lamps

- so i've done a few setups in my day. most of them happen to be desk-related, but this time, i wanted tofocus on the tv side of things. so, this is my ultimate4k entertainment setup. (bouncy pop music) so the heart and soul of thissetup is the sj9 sound bar from lg, and huge shoutout to them for not only sending this my way, butalso sponsoring this video. now, to take things up a notch, any time

there is a sponsoredvideo on this channel, i'm gonna use that as away to get back to you guys so not only do you have a chanceto win this sj9 sound bar, i'm gonna take that evenfurther and give you a chance for a $1,000 amazon gift cardso you can upgrade your setup any way you want, if you'redown with that, let me know by dropping a like, and details on how to win are down below. now immediately, what i love about this

is the dark gray finish. aesthetically, it looks amazing even on top of a white console,also not gonna lie, usually i don't get tomess around with sound bars of this caliber, so the audionerd inside me is excited to see how this sounds. so i think it's onlyfitting to test this out with the game of thronesseason seven trailer, at least the second one,which i have not watched yet.

we got some playback action. time to crank this sound bar. sansa, that's richard's favorite. (game of throne theme playing) that's pretty loud. i'm gonna turn that down for a second. we've got some beautiful, beautiful, beautiful john snowdialogue, which sounds great. there's a ton of low end, sothat sounds fantastic here,

let's see how a little music sounds. this is rich's favorite track. (pop music) that's a lot of low end. ♫ i don't know if you can take it ♫ i know you wanna seeme naked naked naked i'm gonna turn that down. that's really really impressive, and if you're only rockingstock audio on your tv,

you maybe want to consider an upgrade. this thing makes a huge difference. so sound quality is beyondon point, and on top of that, this thing is packed full of features. and a couple things thatreally stand out to me is one, 4k passthrough. whether you're waiting to buy that sweet, shiny new xbox one x, you own a ps4 pro, or inmy case, have an xbox one s

where you're using it for 4k consumption, your sound bar may only output 1080p, which defeats the wholepurpose of a 4k setup. on top of that, having awireless subwoofer is amazing, and in this case, what it allows you to do is not be tied downwire to wire to the tv, and not only was it thebetter sound choice placed in the corner, but i thinkaesthetically, it took this setup to the next level.

so you pair those featureswith fantastic sound quality, chromecast functionality,which not only works with netflix, youtube, butalso things like spotify, and that is a recipefor a killer sound bar. now from there, you probablyassume i'm gonna talk about that sweet tvbehind me, but i'm gonna throw you a curve ball andtalk about the console itself. now don't get me wrong,i love me some ikea, but sometimes, it's funto step outside there.

this is from living spaces, not a sponsor, but living spaces, ifyou're watching, let's talk. the walnut front with the off white sides looks phenomenal together, and i get it, some people are gonna seethe price of this and say, "i could build a gamingpc for that price." but the one thing i want youto take away from this video is good wood ain't cheap. what i think i lovemost about this console

is the fact that it keepsthings squeaky clean. that was my goal with this setup. i don't want consoles andwires flying everywhere, i wanted to look atthis and see simplicity. now specifically, what imean by keeping things clean is yes, there is tons ofspace and room for activities with this console, but what it excels at is cable management. to the naked eye, allyou see on the outside

is the sound bar and thetv, but what's packed away inside here is an xboxone s, specifically, the gears of war 4 special edition. i love this color. you have a really cool optionto send the cables directly through the console, whichreally helps keep things clean and on top of that, as yousee, there is a ton of space for remotes, for controllers,and in this case, i added the xbox one media controller,

so just in case you want touse this to watch blu-rays, or to watch netflix in 4k, this is perfect so you don't have tobust out the controller. if you do want to go 4k gaming,obviously, you're gonna want to wait for the xbox one x,or throw a ps4 pro in there, but whatever console you go with, this is gonna hide it perfectly. so jumping from the xbox,i think that it's time to talk about that sweet tv behind me.

and funny story, even though lg sponsored the sound bar portion ofthis video, i actually went and picked this up myself at best buy. it was on sale, i thinkfor $699, normally $799, but even at that price,for a 60 inch 4k ips tv, i think that is a fantastic deal. personally, i've always beena fan of lg's webos interface. it is super clean, intuitive, and just in case you haven'tadded an xbox, or a ps4,

or chromecast, for thatmatter, you can still use this without wanting to pull your hair out. overall, my take-away with this tv is you can pick up a reallybig, really good 4k tv for relatively cheap nowadays. so if you're stuck at 1080pand you've been wanting to upgrade, the timehas never been better. rounding up the setup to theleft and right of the tv, i have a couple glass shelffloor lamps from target

so you can see this setupis all over the place. i think what i like most aboutthis is the cylinder element that really complementsthese hanging lights up here from ikea. right now and here i have a couple of those classic tech youtuberfake plants from ikea, but you could easilythrow some books on there, zebra yeezys, or even, if yourheart desires, some waifus. last but not least, you knowa setup would not be complete

without a little philips hue action. i got a white and coloredbulb here, here, here, here, and of course, the classiclight strip in the back which gives everything a beautiful glow. of course, everything i talkedabout is linked down below. this is johnathan, and iwill catch you guys later.
