Snazzy Labs host, Quinn Nelson, builds his brother a cheap home theater setup that has an insane price-to-performance ratio. Can a $499 projector be any good? Jury says yes! He also shows some neat home theater hacks to get good quality sound on the cheap instead of using a sound bar or surround sound. A killer setup for a killer price!

    Just use opt out from ps4, the DAC in projector is likely poor quality

    The most good soundbars and speakers begin in a pricerange around 400. You can buy a dolby surround 5.1 for 100, but the quality is not for years! Fostex monitor speakers are cheap and good (also behringer, Philips, Sony) If you have a small room you can do it! Better sound? Buy: Harman Kardon (JBL), BOSE, Philips, Sony, Sonos, Yamaha, etc. I have a LED FULL HD 1080 Beamer buyed in the Netherlands for 150 euro, pretty good and not getting hot! Love to watch Netflix and youtube on it!!

  6. Juvani Aaron on August 28, 2021 at 11:00 pm

    Did he say a 1000$ set up is budget?



  7. rizydude on August 28, 2021 at 11:00 pm

    Get used old good equipment? Can even be just Dolby digital or DTS and will be way under 100 for a receiver



  8. M L on August 28, 2021 at 11:03 pm

    totally missed your chance at a spinal tap "these go to eleven" JOKE when showing the volume on the JBLs lol



  9. Al Chapo on August 28, 2021 at 11:04 pm

    I see you watching too many cooks



  10. ThatOcelot on August 28, 2021 at 11:04 pm

    That’s the Schiit.

    I did my home theater on a small budget too. I was competing with six million dollar home theaters. But I built my screen wall with a 2.35 to 1 aspect ratio and DIY screen material for about $350 another few hundred dollars and I added some chairs. I started off with a 1080p DLP projector but I got used for $1,400. Now I have a brand new top-of-the-line Sony 4K projector that I got for a small fraction of the retail price by a quirk of warranty repair on the used unit that I had bought. So I’m pretty pleased with the system now and it competes well with systems costing hundreds of times more.



  13. Luuk de Beijer on August 28, 2021 at 11:10 pm

    1080p for 500 dollars. Nah xs



  14. Terry Chootiyaa on August 28, 2021 at 11:12 pm

    *Shit what ?? 😐….OK !*



  15. Zia Junaidi on August 28, 2021 at 11:12 pm

    Studio monitors sound flat don’t they



  16. Damien Jost on August 28, 2021 at 11:12 pm

    too many cooks



  17. Steve Nelson on August 28, 2021 at 11:12 pm

    Were you watching "Too Many Cooks?" Haha!



  18. The Tiger Wizard on August 28, 2021 at 11:13 pm

    My favorite thing about being a non famous person who was in a viral video, is the fact I can just be living my life as normal, watch a video while projector shopping, only to find out I’m in it 🤣



  19. Paul Canfield on August 28, 2021 at 11:14 pm

    As mentioned, this is not a budget setup. "Sound setup for a projector" was the search that got me to this link, highly disappointed at the still non budget, non surround sound option used. I have a comparable projector and 100" screen for the cost of one speaker… I need to start a channel… View Sonic got some more free crap?



  20. Evil Cat on August 28, 2021 at 11:14 pm

    er… I came here for cheap. $1,000 is not what I consider cheap. help meh… XD



  21. tamaLOG on August 28, 2021 at 11:14 pm

    Good Schitt my dude



  22. Robert Davis on August 28, 2021 at 11:16 pm

    You should’ve connected an XBOX ONE into the system instead of the PS4. It’s better for media purposes as you can get dedicated media remotes for it and it has a smart system that mutes and turns on and off the TV as you turn it on. it can also display your cable TV box through the inwards HDMI port.



  23. John Doe on August 28, 2021 at 11:17 pm

    To many cook’s



  24. paralyzingtech on August 28, 2021 at 11:17 pm

    I had a question about the speakers is the speakers placed on the TVs left and right or my left and right me facing the TV?



  25. Daijoubu on August 28, 2021 at 11:20 pm

    My Epson HC 2040 can control the volume just fine lol, I’ll rather get bookshelf speakers and a small class-D amp, monitors have a narrower sound field, some of which have volume/remote control.



  26. John Dempsey on August 28, 2021 at 11:21 pm

    Why would anybody come out of the projector for audio , please come out of the PS4



  27. Lumify | Gil on August 28, 2021 at 11:22 pm

    $400 is a budget equipment? When I hear budget I’m thinking $100-199.



  28. wardope on August 28, 2021 at 11:23 pm

    Well, go 2nd hand. you can go a long way with home theater. especially projectors and surround-sound receivers. ideally, go with a LED projector.



  29. IraQNid on August 28, 2021 at 11:24 pm

    So was this an honest review or a paid commercial?



  30. Ricky 18 on August 28, 2021 at 11:26 pm

    Polk t series set up for 200 at Walmart



  31. DarthHater100 on August 28, 2021 at 11:26 pm

    I doubt that this is the "Best Home Theater Setup".



  32. N3ON_OUTLAW on August 28, 2021 at 11:27 pm

    What does this guy think a budget is? $500 for a projector?! I can get a qled tv for that!



  33. Retro Rick on August 28, 2021 at 11:31 pm

    Cant you change the volume level with the projector? Ive had 4 different projectors and they all do that.



  34. cole schubert on August 28, 2021 at 11:32 pm

    You should install a screen there.



  35. Rupert C on August 28, 2021 at 11:32 pm

    Why Schitt? That’s a stupid brand name!



  36. flappy jeff on August 28, 2021 at 11:33 pm

    Too Many Cooks!



  37. Jarkko Aitti on August 28, 2021 at 11:34 pm

    I might be a bit more towards hearing oriented than average so a 2.0 audio would kill all the joy from a sci-fi or action movies and would not have that immersion that a 5.1 (or better system) makes. Also many people do enjoy content downloaded from internet and that makes a sony system (playstation) quite unusable because they are quite strict copyright and control nazis. So any media with different area code would not work, many common codecs wont work, anything with cinavia wont work and so on..



  38. ACorgiWithaCrown on August 28, 2021 at 11:37 pm

    129$ per speaker? Just get quality headphones for the price of one of those and enable surround sound.



  39. jocie on August 28, 2021 at 11:37 pm

    "but sys it is not"

    so this is a trans preamp



  40. Atul Garg on August 28, 2021 at 11:41 pm

    I have a request can u please make a vedio that showing which wire connected to where like how to connect play station ,tv cable , speakers to projector and by which cable



  41. David Pacheco on August 28, 2021 at 11:41 pm

    They be watching GX1000 videos, hell ya!



  42. jjb jjv on August 28, 2021 at 11:42 pm

    Someone should make a projector to fully replace a TV. Like it should be able to have a service provider so you can watch shows on it, and also have great speakers built in. Projectors are the future!



  43. shotarcherZ on August 28, 2021 at 11:43 pm

    I don’t think $500 for 1080p is where it’s at



  44. Dinh Le on August 28, 2021 at 11:43 pm

    Your things all junk your brother also is a stupid musician



  45. Chris monterubio on August 28, 2021 at 11:43 pm

    A 50ft hdmi cable from Walmart is not high end in the slightest.



  46. Binging With babish is amazing and I'm not creative on August 28, 2021 at 11:45 pm

    I was just looking for a good tv and then was like YO ITS SNAZZY



  47. E G on August 28, 2021 at 11:46 pm

  48. OutcomeAgent on August 28, 2021 at 11:46 pm

    I need a brother who will spend $1000 for a budget home theater for my apartment



  49. Thomas warhurst on August 28, 2021 at 11:48 pm

    how is that budget



  50. J G on August 28, 2021 at 11:50 pm

    Relative terms are trash. $300 a pair. Who would spend that?
