Today on Battle Damage, Joseph Robano, and Tony Thompson,

and many more have requested that we test

this flat-screen TV.

So don't touch that dial.

TVs don't have dials anymore.

What?

(rock music)

Here on Battle Damage, we test the physical limits

of everyday technology.

That means that this Samsung Smart TV's 120 hertz

refresh rate likely won't save its cheap plastic frame

from what we have in store for it.

There are three basic tests here on Battle Damage.

Drop from a normal height, drop from really high,

and finally, we'll test the TV's extreme limits.

(whooshing)

The TV's big but the stand is so wobbly,

I think it's gonna absorb a lot of the initial impact,

for this test at least.

What, no way.

Roll!

Action!

(ominous music)

(crashing)

Screen's fine, let's plug it in.

Oh! There we go.

It's fine. Smart TV.

I think the stand helped.

It acted like a little spring,

like it went (imitates bouncing).

It's a smart TV, bro.

It's smart, it knows how to fall.

It's like a cat.

(whooshing) (dinging)

So the smart TV survived five feet.

I think it's a 50 50 change it's surviving 15.

[Erik] Okay, here we go.

Action!

(ominous music)

(crashing)

Oh, man.

It's super loose and everything's all jiggly in there.

Okay.

Oh, something's--

[Erik] Oh that screen is broken.

I think this one's dead. Yep.

(buzzing) (whooshing)

[Erik] For our third test,

we're breaking out our custom potato gun

and charging it up to 100 PSI.

We've tested it before in my back yard.

It worked a little too well.

(whooping)

Ready!

(dramatic music) (crashing)

Look at that!

[Justin] Oh my god.

That is a serious potato-based dent.

I did not expect that at all.

[Erik] Me neither.

I thought the potato would just explode.

[Justin] Right.

(buzzing) (whooshing)

We had prepped some soda cans,

thinking the potato wouldn't do much damage.

We got it, we gotta shoot it, so, sorry TV.

Here we go, next time.

Ready, go.

(digital chirping) (clattering)

Oh!

Stop the cart, stop the cart.

(laughing) It's deep.

Oh, there it is!

That is a mortal wound.

(buzzing)

All right everyone, thanks for watching,

and remember that you can hit us up in the comments,

or on social media with the hashtag battledamage,

and you could win a free broken TV.

Really?

No, not really.

Aw.
