(dramatic synth music) - i think it's about time to revisit some ultimate gaming setups, this time with playstation 4. in the past, some of thegaming setups have been a bit much. (thunderous epic music) so this time i want to dosomething a little different, and focus instead on a setup
that is a little more functional, but still aesthetically pleasing with a minimalist, veryclean-looking design, which led to this: as you can see, super-minimal setup. i mean, there is nothing on display here other than the tv and the sound bar. as far as these go, the tv is one i've used a coupletimes before from samsung,
i'm not gonna say the name 'cause it's just a bunchof letters and numbers. the point is that it's a 4ktv with great color depth, but more importantly, asuper-low response time for a 4k television which is super importantfor multiplayer games. as for the sound bar, it's from lg. same deal, i'm not gonna say the name 'cause it's a bunch ofletters and numbers.
the point is is that while this is themost cost-effective option, it does offer amazing audio quality and a passthrough for 4k systems. while we do obviously havethe ps4 set up right now, i wanted to do something alittle extra on this setup and have not just one system, but two. (snap)we not only have a ps4 pro hooked up to this tv,
but also a living room pc, upping the amount of gaming goodness and giving you just waymore games to choose from. the way we've set this all up is that we have this credenzaright here from living spaces called the bale credenza which is a great-lookingpiece of furniture, and it basically has three main doors where we're storing all thefunctional bits of this setup.
behind door number one is this little top-down opening shelf. we've got our ps4 proand our alienware alpha which we're using as ourliving room pc for this setup. loaded up with a gtx 960, the alpha is the perfect balance for what we need in this setup: something that is smalland aesthetically pleasing to fit on this shelf,
but at the same timeoffering the power necessary to give us a good, smoothframe rate while gaming. below this is a drawer which is where we're storing all of our physical copies of games because i'm a caveman and stillbuy all my discs physical, i avoid digital whenever i can, and as well as a little storage case for additional accessories we may need
such as additionalcontrollers, so on and so forth. and on this third, larger door, is where we're storing the psvr. the psvr is a bit messywhen it's fully set up, so to kind of avoid that instead we just have it setup on a charging base for now, and this little storage cubby filled with all the additional wires and pieces that are needed
so when we wanna set it upit's all easily on hand, but it's not constantly therecreating a huge mess of wires. something that we've done with past setups that i wanted to avoid this time is having a lot of important bits like controller charge stands, headphones, all that kinda stuff on the entertainment console itself 'cause let's be honest:
who actually wants towalk up and pick things up to then sit down? you should be able to justsit down in your comfy chair and play games and have everything you needon hand right next to you. so that's why on this little side table we have a charging dock solution setup for our ps4 controllers so you can just have themright there within arm's reach
and not have to worry aboutthe batteries being dead. we also have our platinumheadset setup right here. we don't have it set upto be charging right now, but that's why in this drawer we actually have a charge station setup so we can plug stuff in when need be. you can also use it for thingslike charging your phone or anything else on handthat needs charging. and then when we're using the pc,
we have this bluetoothwireless keyboard setup, we're able to use this as a lap keyboard with a little place touse the mouse as well. (inspiring digital music) for this design i reallywanted to focus on just having something that was functional but in a very minimalist way. not every setup has tohave statues and figures and all kinds of bellsand whistles everywhere.
instead, we just focusedon all the things necessary to make an excellent gaming experience.
