FIRST START UP The 20ft Hooters Racing Video Wall Is FINISHED

- The Hooters Racing video wall is done! The MegaTV is a 20ft diagonal video wall made out of 9 Samsung 75" TVs. This ended up being a huge project with a huge pay off, one of the coolest things I've ever seen. It uses so much power it can trip the breaker on a single circuit, coming in just a tad over 2000 watts. When you're watching or playing racing on it the cars are literally lifesize. There's really no way to describe it other than really, really big.
Huge thank you to Hooters Racing for sponsoring this series. Use promo code "WATCHJRGO" in the mobile app and online for $10 your order (of at least $30)

John Ross- you need to grab the master hdmi signal and split it over to the Motul loft area where you need to have 2 more big screens on the wall. That way people on the loft can see what’s going on too. (When it gets done!)
That's EXACTLY what I'm doing with the 2 extra 75s 😂 After we get the loft done and sheetrock we'll hang those right beside the couches!
@@WatchJRGo It's almost a bummer that there are doors directly across from the loft. Could have sat on the couch, and played on the video wall
@@WatchJRGo makes sense. I wondered why you had 11 tvs. Now I know.
@@WatchJRGo you are a man with a plan for sure
@@eelecurb they're also identical spares, for any future failures in the video wall TVs. He can easily replace the lounge TV with any new one off the shelf, but this ensures the wall replacement matches color, size, etc.
Turning them on for the first time was a definite Clark Griswald Christmas lights moment. Unfreakin believable how awesome it is. Keep pumping out the unique content.
Not sure if it's in your plan, but a black wall behind that would make it just that much sharper. Very nice! The level of ridiculous is 12 on a scale of 1-10 (and that's a good ridiculous!)
With color shifting LED strips glowing behind it.
Like how you think!
Black wall would be sick.
Color shift leds are not good for sharp image…reducing the light that the image has to compete with on the way to your eye…black it out

JR: Plans out every single position of the cable ties on the roof because he's a perfectionist.
Also JR: Doesn't have a problem with the massive lift post blocking the TV wall 🤔🤦♂️
Yeah that lift would ruin the TV for me. Seems like there could've been a better place to put it than where it is. Still cool though.
even a couple feet to the right would have been so much better, as far right as you can without interfering with the audio truss
And no car up in the air on the lift yet !
perspective. 04:00
EXACTLY LIKE BRO THAT WOULD DRIVE ME INSANE
That lift has to be moved. Sitting anywhere but straight on would take my ocd to defcon 4.
Same, i wouldn't be able to enjoy it. Still awesome, but placement isn't great.
Bendpak need to give you a single post lift ..... to clear the viewing angles .... awesome build .... shop is looking amazing.....
bendpak is about to get their logo in every video wall video they aren't mad!
What an excellent way to watch my channel
Awesome response Jake 😂😂… gone somewhat unnoticed 👏👏👏👏
That looks amazing, but I'd actually sacrifice that lift for better viewing. I'm one of those people who can't stand any little bit of anything in my way of the screen.
"the lift isn't even in the way" haha
Totally in the way 😂
Wall needs to be painted black around the TV’s JR. Awesome job. 👍
Wish we could have seen it with the lights dimmed or off. Either way, great job. Glad the work is behind you and you are ready to enjoy it.
I love the music you’ve been using in your videos(this one around the 2:00 mark). It’s a really cool vibe when you’re watching these videos on the couch at night.
Happy for you JR . ( all your buddies as well)
A continuous load is defined as a load that is expected to be run 3 hours or more. Your video screen is a continuous load. Circuits for continuous loads must be derated by 20%, so your 20 amp circuit is only good for 16 amps. At 120 volts (nominal), your 16 amp circuit is capable of 1,920 watts max. No surprise that it blew the breaker. An amazing project none the less. Congrats on all your hard work!
I love uni-strut. It's such great stuff to build with. A McMaster-Carr Catalog and a hot cup of coffee gets my morning started.
Now this is legendary JR. This is going to be a huge source of happiness for everyone that comes by your place!
while every screw head in the building is perfectly horizontal... it doesn't bother him that a giant BENDPAK beam is in the way?
Im getting frustrated looking at it😂
Think of it as a paid advertisement for Bend Pak.
@@musikdrengen02 it's such a bad place for either the lift or the screens
Considering my first 50" flat screen (that weighed 200+ lbs) cost $4500 back in the day, $14k for this is a steal!
The first time I saw a modern flat screen for sale was back in '01 I think, and it was $10k
@@macgroober1396 Yep, I remember picking up 25" Sun "flat" screen CRT monitors in 1998 heavily used by an art company and "refreshed" for $600 ea and that was the DEAL OF THE CENTURY. They weighed over 100 lbs and cost $15k new. Me and a group of friends bought like 15 of them and all of them died in about 2 years.
@@grants169 Nice! Sad they died... The curved 24" Trinitron, before the flat glass version, GDM-FW900.
The shop is looking so good, can't wait for your next build.
Of course it has to be perfect that's the Jr go way we wouldn't expect anything less....
man I need some Hooters!!! Love the wall though!
That lift is definitely in the way
Having the lift in the way like that...would drive me freaking crazy....
Congratulations on a job well done John! I have One 75" LG in my living room and it blows my mind you have NINE of these set up as a single screen! Awesome sauce! A big thanks to HOOTERS Racing for making this possible! Best wishes and see you in future videos!
Big blue Benpak lift post not in the way at all. WHAT!!! looks like its 100% in the way to me, is he smokin the devils lettuce. Could have moved it to the right 2 or 3 feet, but post would still be in the way. Its like getting the cheap seats at an event and a column is in the way.
You know you did it right when you start popping breakers. I can feel my Master Electrician brother screaming after typing that. LOL
Ok seriously...glad you didn't burn anything...and that wall is SO WICKED COOL! You don't want the nickname Sparky, like my brother. HA!
I don't visit Hooters much anymore, but because they sponsor this wall, I'm going! Right after I order some Smoked and Daytona wings for lunch tomorrow! After I download their mobile app...haha. Congrats on the wall!!
I can't stop going to Hooters as I know for a fact all the girls there are into me.. I can tell..
Awesome! The lift is the only question mark I have from a viewing stand point. but you knocked it out of the park with installation.
Bendpak getting tons of free advertising and didn't have to pay for the wall lol
When you said, “this is ridiculous.” I agree. With all the lines in the picture it would drive me crazy.
Best way to do phase 2 on this build:
Remove the plastic borders on all the tvs, so that way they butt up screen-to-screen. It removes the "window" effect that using multiple screens usually gives off. Once all your tvs are screen-to-screen, you simply cut and bend a nice metal frame to go around all the tvs.
I used to do the "4 TV" builds for Buffalo wild wings lol.
Your build looks fantastic. Just keep in mind everyone is going to point out that the borders are annoying. And there is a way to fix it. Good luck Jr!
Every man's dream... a video wall in his huge shop. Hell yea!
Just going to be in denial about the lift.
Fair enough.
I guess I would insist on being house right of center.
Looks fantastic great job. I've never seen one that big.
That is crazy awesome! By far one of the best ideas I've ever seen! You're an awesome mechanic and I.T guy!!!!
That's awesome!
I bet since this video came out, a guy in the Bendpak promotions department has been calling the Hooters promotions department over and over again and just laughing into the phone until they hang up.
Totally Cool. Another example of you putting your mind to something and accomplishing it
I bought (just one) of the those TVs last December after my 60" Samsung died. It was $900 delivered from Costco. It's a great TV and a good value. Nice work on the TV wall!
That looks awesome! I started watching your channel during the past year and am really happy for all you’ve managed to accomplish!
Having been recently in front of that wall I can tell you he is not exaggerating when he is telling you how big it is. hope sometime in the future I’ll be able to see it in person!
Such an epic set up!
This is BY FAR the coolest thing you've ever done on this channel! 😂😂😂 🎉🎉🎉
I'll do my part to support viewership, watched every video since finding your channel.
Oh great my son just seen this on his bday and GUESS what he wants now!?
I love these projects
And this was the last video posted by JR. He never left the video wall -- playing games and watching TH-cam videos. Family and friends had to do an intervention eventually. :-)
and how is this getting cars repaired? You claim revenue and views are down, yet you have the time to do all this? I just don't get it.
This is totally awesome. But won't the lift post get in the way of the perfect straight on view of the full screen?
Yes
Move the lift!
On the next episode of WatchJRGo, I'm installing solar panels on the BIGGEST AUTOMOTIVE Shop's roof. xD
The lift is definitely in the way
Biggest video wall in a shop on you tube. Awesome
That turned out awesome 👍👍👍
You hit the nail on the head with these sort of installs not much room for error at all from a guy that is familiar with these kind of installs you hit this one out of the park
Love the videos on the TV wall construction. I’m a TV installer here in Australia and found it very entertaining. Also you have given me a few ideas. But absolutely love the car stuff. Take care!
That looks way better than I thought. Great job!
You're really making this warehouse into an awesome place. Love to see it.
Since I use a 60" Sony TV as my computer monitor, I heartily approve of the video wall! And I'm older than your Dad!
You the Man !
Nice man! Great fkn job getting that setup! Doing all of the is so tedious, but so so SO worth it‼️
Looks amazing but you know you will move that lift eventually :-)
That thing is sick JR! Every boys dream to have a huge screen for playing games :D
My 2 cents on the TH-cam viewer decline. At a time when much of the world was struggling to pay their rent, locked down in their homes. Not allowed to work. The world watched numerous TH-cam channels go on a spending spree. New shops, exotic cars, toys and travel to car shows. While sponsors paid you , The gulf grew wider. Many channels changed from you can do this too, to look at my new toys. While the hard work was evident. I believe that resentment has set in and people are going out to do other activities. Like work. Many were denied this before and now they face financial challenges. Congratulations on your success. I enjoy the content, yet when you give back to someone in need, you endear yourself to all.
I've gotten tired of a lot of car channels that have turned into "look at the new expensive toy I bought today" - which is pretty boring. Also - the sponsored content is a turn off. I stopped watching TV because of the commercials - and many youtube channels are now nothing but disguised commercials. Money ruins everything.
"Many channels changed from you can do this too, to look at my new toys"
Yup, that is why i unsub from a lot of big channels and go for smallers ones. And then i tell the smaller channel to be mindful when growing of what made them grow: The toys, or the content/skills ?
I almost dont want them to grow sometimes, just to have them stay "genuine".
All i want, is "This thing is broken on this car. Were gonna fix it. This is how." and you have my FULL attention.
Period. The end. Finito.
@@1leggeddog . I completely agree with every word . I know it’s not John Ross’s
Intentions to come across like this . JR pouring everything into this ( well deserved)
Success. Sponsored videos is required for this level of expansion . However
It does Change the feel of TH-cam vrs tv shows .
And he is whining about income and spends thousands on a big TV.
Its not only that. JR's content is all over the place. I have said it before. He works too hard. He needs to sit down and plan his entire week and contingencies if things dont work out. He needs to hire an editor and a full time camera person or he needs to upload 3 videos per week max. He should also do more cheap car flips like the good old days. Its been so long since Rolls has been on the channel most subs don't even know he has it. There is so many missed opportunities.
Pretty dope to measure your shop TV in tens of feet!! Absolutely wicked setup!
Love it!
Amazing!!!!
So cool to see this finished! Hey I think you can get or make a diffuser for between the bezels and will make it look more like one image.
Fantastic to see it all come together so well!!!
Lots of sick stuff on this channel. But this might be the most dope !
Freaking awesome job John Ross!! Congratulations!!
That’s freaking awesome
the lift is 100% in the way JR, lol
Much more upbeat than yesterday. Best Dungeons and Dragons ever!
JR gets bummed he wants to be vehicle virgins just buying cars and getting views.
John Ross views comes from him filming himself doing labor
Me and the rest of his audience like seeing him fix cars,fix toilets,fix motorcycles,build video walls.
Looks great but the lift needs to be moved for sure!
Agree, that lift will now haunt my dreams. I could never live with a 14k setup always blocked....ugh.
Nice!!!! Looks good man! Thanks for the constant great content 👍
That’s awesome guys great job😎👍🏻🇺🇸🦅
I love it!
I like the horseshoe welded to a strut just right of the TV's, very cool.
THIS IS SOOOOO FRICKIN SATISFYING!!!!!!!!!!!
This is so inspirational to all of our garages.
I LOVE THE SATURN!!!!! AWESOME AWESOME SHOP
If you have kids, this would make you the coolest dad ever, especially if you have birthday parties and such there
Gotta admit, pretty kick ass setup.
The lifts DO matter. Badly located. But if you are happy, you're the one who owns it.
I love this so much.
Reminds me of the kid from the 90’s movie “blank check” haha awesome!
Mind blowing! Love it!
It’s crazy how big that wall is that it makes 20 foot of tv not look crazy.
Kind of a strange place for the video wall. I would have put it directly opposite of the lounge/loft so you can see it from up there abd at the same level. Same thing with the sound/light rig.
I thought the same thing. That lift creates an obstructed view. It’s still way cool, but odd placement.
doors in the way.
Hardest working man on TH-cam!!!
The lift is in the way :)
That's crazy cool. Congrats.
Bout time!!!! Last video made me mad not seeing it done!
Looks great! A FYI, they make mounts that are specifically made for these applications that allow many adjustments to get your install perfect in a lot less time. They also allow you to pop any TV out for future service or replacement without having to remove others.
Goldeneye is the only game you need for the video wall!
Add some colour-match LEDs behind the edges! Make it look EVEN BIGGER! :)
Play the movie “Heat” on the screens. Outrageousness!
You thanked everybody but your buddy in this video.
HOOTERS WINGS IS AMAZING
That’s so sweet! What an awesome addition to the shop. Not sure how long that video wall processor will last though. I’m guessing 3 months max before it burns out. But that’s just me. Hope it goes forever.
Almost guaranteed failure lol, one day we’ll get an extron or something 💯
@@WatchJRGo Maybe a cooling hack with additional fans can prolong it.
Some guys go their whole life without regaining their youth. You’ve done it in a couple years. The fountain of warehouse youth!!
Yay! Stoked to see how this turns out
Chief (Legrand) has their LTM1U display mounts that allow side to side and up and down shifting. Nice job!
Tubs of popcorn, raise all the vehicles on the bendpaks up to optimum view height and kick back at the drive in in the sky
