00:00can see me oh god that scared me can the apple vision pro replace my 65 inch lg g4 oled
00:08tv when
00:09it comes to watching movies sports and gaming i love my lg g4 and samsung q990d buying them was
00:17my top priority after moving into my new apartments but after spending time with the new apple vision
00:21pro with the m5 chip and airpods pro 3 i realized i can get a similar oled hdr and dolby
00:27atmos
00:27experience for only a little more than my entire home setup i need to address a few elephants in
00:33the room the apple vision pro can do a lot more than just media consumption it's capable of spatial
00:39computing and vr gaming but to keep things simple i'm gonna put both devices head to head to see
00:45which outperforms the other when it comes to the audio experience watching movies watching sports
00:51and gaming i'm expecting this to be a pretty controversial video so i'm counting on you
00:57guys to argue it out in the comments down below
01:07movies one of the main reasons people are buying their oled tvs and a soundbar system is to get the
01:13best movie and tv experience possible disney plus is great for watching movies because they have things
01:20imax enhanced that means the entire screen gets taken up during certain scenes spoiler warning
01:26for avengers infinity war technically but honestly if you haven't seen avengers infinity war what are
01:32you doing all right we're gonna lower the lights make this a little more of a cinematic experience
01:46i've seen this movie so many times and it continues to just be one of those like wow moments the
01:53lg's ability to
01:54showcase those really bright colors so the hdr really pops but because it's oled we have that pitch black effect
02:01so
02:02it's it's an lg oled it's gonna look fantastic with any sort of hdr content
02:08all right let's check out watching movies on vision pro i'm here in my virtual vision pro mode so you
02:17guys can see me oh god that scared me
02:22uh just kind of jumped out at me what's cool about vision pro is the fact that you have the
02:28ability to
02:28move things where you'd like so by simply pinching i'm able to move the screen close to me but also
02:34the fact that it can take you places if you want to create an environment all you have to do
02:39is turn
02:40the knob at the very top this is pretty sweet check this out i can go to environments and look
02:47at what
02:47i have access to the disney plus theater alien earth avengers tower so you kind of guessing what i'm
02:53going to do already look at this i am on top of the avengers tower and keep in mind that
02:58the vision
02:58pro records things in 1080p but i'm seeing this in incredibly sharp resolution it's 4k per eye
03:05it is so detailed it feels like i'm actually there there's a chair over here i've got fun little
03:11easter eggs about we no longer make weapons sincerely tony stark got some shawarma and another thing you can
03:17do as well is you can watch 3d movies so if i wanted to watch that scene again but in
03:223d i can do it
03:26and look at this little detail here i've started the movie and what happens it darkens the environment
03:31so it really creates that feeling wow look at that
03:38you're literally in avengers tower it's so cool all the little easter eggs and the detail is incredible
03:46heads up viewers the apple vision pro protects copyrighted material from being screen recorded
03:50so you're going to see a black screen while i'm watching stuff enjoy
03:59i mean this is amazing you have all those full controls if you want to make it larger or smaller
04:06it stays right in front of you now the vision pro also uses an oled screen and it's a micro
04:12oled
04:12panel that apple developed so you're still getting hdr you're still getting 4k it does a really really
04:19great job you're not compromising at all on the visual experience being able to go into really
04:25cool environments was pretty remarkable on the vision pro however i found that the hdr and dolby
04:30atmos performance on the lg with the soundbar provided a better experience so this round goes to lg
04:45so i have the q 990d soundbar system which is capable of dolby atmos so i'm going to go ahead
04:51and
04:51hop onto apple tv and i'm going to put on one of my favorite movies to test dolby atmos which
04:57is a quiet
04:58place this scene's awesome because you can really hear where the aliens are coming from
05:10yeah so as it's destroying things and it's upstairs to me it's hard to tell on camera but it sounds
05:17like it's actually coming from upstairs that's the effect that dolby atmos can create
05:23another great dolby atmos movie to see is the edge of tomorrow so it's something like edge of tomorrow
05:29he's deploying from the ship he's spinning around so you fully hear that all around you
05:39war movies sci-fi movies when there's a lot of things going on dolby atmos really stands out
05:48it's hard to beat got the airpods pro 3 and what they do is they support dolby atmos just like
05:54i
05:54demonstrated with the lg so it's going to allow me to feel that bubble so we're going to go ahead
06:01and we are going to watch a quiet place
06:08yeah this is this is incredible
06:12it's doing a great job of just creating that bubble it sounds like the aliens are exactly
06:16upstairs i'm going to switch over now to edge of tomorrow the vision pro does a great job of
06:22creating that space in that environment watching stuff on this really is remarkable not only is it
06:27remarkable but it's pretty terrifying to have this type of audio experience out in the middle of the
06:32desert it does a great job but i'm going to give the point to the lg because a dedicated soundbar
06:37system
06:37was still performing better in the audio department than my headphones so another point to lg
06:50lg oled tvs are fantastic for sports they have really good motion smoothing which means that a
06:56lot of the fast action going on looks really good sometimes tvs will kind of stutter if they don't
07:00have good motion smoothing there aren't any games going on at the time of filming this but i am watching
07:05the highlights of the celtics and wizards game so you know looks really great it's 1080p 60 fps great
07:12colors good brightness i have the volume turned down because i'm talking to the camera but one of the
07:17downsides of watching sports on an oled is that a lot of options for seeing it in 4k resolution with
07:23hdr turned on which is one of the best things about an lg oled or any oled tv is the
07:29hdr performance
07:31you don't really have that a lot with sports i mean you try to watch a game it's usually going
07:35to be 1080p and the 4k options are usually available in more premium places like certain youtube tv
07:41packages fubo things that cost a lot of money so most people don't have the ability to even fully
07:47enjoy sports in 4k hdr the handful of times i have seen sports in 4k hdr they've looked fantastic but
07:55they're just not that commonly available i'm a big soccer fan for example i love the ability to watch
08:00the english premier league in 4k hdr but again it's very expensive to get those options you can't just
08:07see it through peacock or paramount plus for example where they're streaming these soccer games so lg oled
08:13does a great job you know if most tvs are even going to be showing things in 1080p anyways you're
08:18still
08:18going to take advantage of that brightness and the motion smoothing so yeah it's it's it's great um
08:24don't really have much complaints it's it's more on the streamers so streamers come on more 4k hdr
08:30content please make it more easily available i got the vision pro on and right off the bat if you're
08:35looking to buy something where you can watch sports with your friends uh i wouldn't get the vision pro
08:41because you're not going to be able to invite them over to watch content together on the vision pro if
08:45they don't already have one wait then why am i here that's a good question i don't have an answer
08:53yeah yeah all right well i just lost a friend so we're gonna go to the nba app and what's
09:00cool
09:00about the nba app is that you have a lot of really interesting features that you can play with i
09:06don't
09:06have a membership so i can't see the full game replay but basically you have the ability to watch the
09:12game and then create this multi-view so as you're watching the game you have live statistics on the
09:17left you're able to see things like assists rebounds field goals you've got other games going on the
09:22bottom you can see stats about the players um what a game by jalen brown 35 points wow started well
09:31too 31 but yeah you have the ability to fully customize this so you can do a multi-view setup
09:36look at this
09:37i now have my game stats right here and i can tweak what i want to see and how i
09:43want to design it
09:44he highlights full games this is really really cool and then there are those experiences with vision pro
09:51where it feels like you're actually in the stadium what they're doing is they're putting a 360 camera
09:55up to 8k resolution in the actual game so you are seated there so when you're sitting there looking
10:01around it does a really great job so watching a game like this which is a lot more analytical
10:05is really really cool um i know apple tv has a really great demonstration of this yeah this is
10:15absolutely incredible i'm right here with the players because of those copyright issues i
10:19mentioned earlier i once again can't show you what this looks like however i found this footage on reddit
10:24from the vantage app which does a good job of showing what it's like to be courtside at a sporting
10:29event
10:30i am sitting courtside right now both do a really great job with sports i'm going to give this one
10:35to the vision pro because the vision pro is allowing you to actually be immersed in the stadium you're
10:40you're on the field you're courtside and you're doing it from the comfort of your own home vision pro
10:45takes this point can it start a comeback
10:55i've got the ps5 pro with me we're going to start off with resident evil 4 remake something the lg
11:01oleds have always done really well is have the ability to support high frame rates and games and
11:07what that allows you to do is have up to 120 frames per second so this is the lg gaming
11:12menu and you
11:13can see i have 92 frames per second 94 93 it's it's a variable refresh rate that's what vrr stands
11:20for
11:20now the way i'm going to play this level for those of you who may not have played resident evil
11:25i would not recommend doing it this way but i'm going to basically just
11:28get right into the action here um and just cause some chaos
11:39all right yeah like i said it's on hard to go easy on me okay any sort of 4k hdr
11:47game is going
11:48to look really great on the lg obviously if you want to do vr gaming you're going to want a
11:52vision
11:53pro or a competing headset for this scenario we're going to look at what the console experience
11:57is like you want to play some ps5 is that possible it is but you have to stream it so
12:03this is px play
12:05and it allows you to connect using wi-fi to your ps5 sort of like remote play i've got my
12:12purple dual
12:13sense controller in my hands i've already paired it to vision pro using bluetooth so it's already
12:18connected you can see the thing right there i'm going to go ahead and make it spooky
12:23which is dark cool all right now we have nowhere to run in case i die so the audio experience
12:33here
12:34yeah really good so we're going to go to the exact same spot that we were at earlier when we
12:39tried this
12:39out yeah i have a really good internet okay and this is this is uh it's okay there's a lot
12:46of latency
12:46truthfully not great guys i'll be honest it's not great it a lot of latency here there are games you
12:53can get on vision pro that use the controller so it is possible to play some there and they don't
12:59have a lot of latency but if you're looking for that console experience or a pc connected to a big
13:04screen i just can't recommend this there's ways to connect the vision pro to your display that has
13:09less latency and uses like it's an hdmi trick basically if you guys want to see a video on how
13:15to
13:15connect your vision pro to things like a switch 2 or other consoles without using remote play
13:19let me know in the comments we can do a deeper dive but if you're planning on gaming on a
13:22console
13:23the lg gets this point it's an easy point to give out so gaming it's going to go to the
13:28lg
13:29okay there you have it the vision pro is really impressive i think what it can do to create these
13:35immersive spaces and environments and really large screens plus dolby atmos support makes watching
13:42content on it pretty remarkable if you're somebody who already has a tv setup and is looking for
13:47something that can be a really high-end theater experience on the go i think the vision pro is a
13:52really great product but at the current moment the lg oled tv with the soundbar system i think is still
13:59the best setup for most people so the lg wins this showdown but the vision pro still left me really
14:06impressed what do you guys think are you going to pick up a vision pro are you going to try
14:11to upgrade
14:11your system do you want to see more unique comparisons like this one be sure to let me know in
14:17the comments
14:17and until next time i'm phil rodriguez this is tom's guide and i'll see you in the next video
14:45and i'll see you in the next video
14:46i'm just being silly
