What's inside a 65-inch Flat Screen TV?

(loud crashing)
- Whoops!
It's Father's Day in two weeks and
- Woohoo!
- We got myself a new TV, thanks to our friends at Dolby
They sent us this beautiful, brand new TV that is going
to upgrade our TV room.
I'm so excited.
- I am too.
- The technology in this is so much better.
Alright so here's the plan for today.
- Ahhh!
- See this TV that's older than Mr. Lincoln?
We need to destroy it.
I do want to see what's inside of a plasma TV,
because they don't even really make plasma TVs anymore.
So it is going to be super interesting
to see what's inside of this.
But first, let's get our new TV out.
- Woohoo!
Oh!
Yeah!
Woohoo!
Arrgh!
- We're so good on unboxing stuff,
it's like so orderly and may.
- This one looks like it's pretty thin, looking at it.
Look how skinny it is.
- [Dad] It's crazy, but yet it has better technology in it.
The Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos is basically the technology
that they use in movie theaters
and it's cinema quality stuff
and they put it inside a TV.
So these images and sounds, it's the first time that they've
been on a TV, like this type quality.
It looks better than real,
like with your own eyes, right?
The audio is built in to the TV, the Dolby Atmos audio,
and it encompasses the entire room.
It's an HDR cinema quality that is in a bunch of TVs,
not just the LG OLED TVs,
but it's on a lot of different TVs also.
So make sure that you look for the Dolby Vision Dolby Atmos.
So this set we're looking at, this is the Dolby Vision app
that's on 2017 LG OLED TVs,
and it has a bunch of awesome
different images and things to look at, like Everest.
Dolby Vision content is available on TVs right now,
whether you have this OLED TV or not.
You can find it on Netflix,
there's hundreds of hours on there.
Amazon has a growing library.
Vudu has nearly a hundred movies that are available,
that you can watch, that are in Dolby Vision.
So if you are looking for a good Father's Day gift,
and you would like a TV with Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision,
look on the link in the description
and you can find out more information.
Let's go destroy this TV.
So, the plasma TV, at it's time, was one of the best TVs,
the quality was really good, that's why I got it.
But, I want to see what it looks like inside of there.
I have a really fun idea, for what we can do to make this,
the front of the screen come to life.
(energetic music playing)
This TV is incredibly heavy,
they don't make them this heavy anymore.
The LED TVs are much lighter.
So, it saved the companies money,
it saved the shippers money,
at the end of the day it saves the consumers money
because the shipping costs are less.
I'm gonna get it on top of these wood things.
Let's see.
(crashing)
Arrgh!
Ahh, not quite working, I need to call in some neighbors.
All right, I got some help.
This is gonna happen.
Yeeaah! Oh, that's much easier.
That looks good, thank you.
- [Neighbor] All right.
- This rubber band ball right here, that you are seeing
don't be fooled by it's size, it is 50 pounds!
This is double the size of the rubber band ball
that we did in our rubber band ball video.
This should make some impact, when I bounce it,
just on the concrete, it shakes the foundation.
Is this camera angle good?
Is this camera angle, check!
Lincoln camera angle?
Check!
(fast-paced anticipation music building)
Bomb's away!
(glass cracking)
Ohhh! What a nice try...
- Almost in the summer, I mean in the center.
- [Dad] You can see that the back is kind of
bowing off of it a little bit.
And then the glass, we have one layer of thick glass that,
this is interesting, you can see.
Wow, that really is in the dead center.
This glass is smooth on the outside,
but on the inside you see one layer of glass
that's like all cracked.
And then another layer that's broken,
and then another layer on the bottom.
So, just in the screen alone, there's a lot going on.
Do we need to drop it again?
- Sure.
- Whoops!
Wow! That one hit harder!
- Whoa!
- [Dad] Yeah, I think we broke it.
How did it look from down here?
Was it cool?
- It was scary.
- [Dad] It looks awesome.
I love how it just stayed on top of it.
But look, you can kinda see the top
there's like some foil or some metal right there.
Still, this glass is completely smooth.
Nothing.
- What?
- [Dad] It's smooth.
- Just like a little tiny, just some bumps from the glass.
- [Dad] Yeah, so it has this outer layer that's super good.
And that's smart, because if you think about it,
because kids like you are playing a video game
and you throw their controller at the TV and it shatters.
What do you think Mama?
- Haha, it's actually kind of beautiful,
like how it shattered it is.
- Now I'm super curious, if we stand it up will all
of the glass just fall down?
So here we go!
(glass falling)
- [Son] Oh!
- Oh! Yeah! Hey we've always wanted one of those bent TVs,
one of those curved TVs!
(playful music)
- [Son] Yeah!
- [Dad] That's how you make your own!
You just throw a rubber band ball at it!
- Ooh! We did it! Yes!
- [Dad] That should be the--
- We made a curved TV!
- [Dad] Homemade, do it yourself, curved TV.
- [Mama] Looks beautiful.
(banging and kicking)
- [Dad] You always wanted to do this?
- Yeah.
- Have you heard of TV bowling?
Neither have I. Heh heh!
Oh no!
- [Son] Oh no!
- [Dad] Look at it, all of the glass,
everything inside of it has fallen down to the bottom.
It looks pretty cool.
Watch my hand.
Nothing!
Look I'm touching it!
I'm touching it, I promise!
That just doesn't feel right.
It feels like my hand should be cut like crazy
but it's not.
Whoa!
Look at the back of that thing!
Look how complex this is, look at all this motherboard
at the amplifiers on it, there's where all your
cables go in and you can see the motherboard for that.
There's a ton of wires in this thing!
Look at all these power banks in here.
This thing uses some major power.
If you have one of these old TVs that's a plasma
that's generating all this energy,
you can replace it with an LED TV
and it should save you a little bit of money
on your monthly bills.
I really like seeing these coils,
I don't know what it is about these coils.
- [Son] It looks so cool always!
- [Dad] It's got 450 volt capacitors, 220,
a lot of this is just to be able
to generate the power that it needs
to be able to actually produce the quality image
that you're looking for.
A good side tip for you guys,
don't take apart your TV.
Don't try to do this.
We cut things open so you don't have to.
That's our trademark slogan actually.
- Wooo hoo!
- Especially with something like this, because,
even after it's unplugged,
you can touch some of the things and there could
be currents running through it
and it could be very dangerous and it could shock you.
- Aghhh!
- Careful.
Let's see if we can get inside the screen.
(metal clanging)
I've unscrewed a bunch of the screws and now it's time
to see if I can crowbar it to get the screen to come off.
Safety.
Oh, yeah!
It looks really cool, we pulled out the front glass
on the inside it does scratch you.
This white screen, you feel that? Feel it.
The only way I can think of to describe it,
is feels like a finger print.
Like, you can feel the grooves.
This is the vertical board, every single one of these
goes in and it tells the TV what to do.
The front glass right here is just like a protector screen.
It doesn't appear to do much.
So, every one of these lines connects to here
and it tells the TV what to do.
So, thanks to Dolby for sponsoring this video.
- Thanks Dolby.
- We had a lot of fun.
It gave us a great excuse to destroy
our old TV and a great excuse to give me
an awesome gift for Father's Day.
- Woo hoo, and now I'm happy too, cause we got a new TV.
- What are you getting me for Father's Day?
(playful music)
