The Perfect Picture
The large flatscreen you love inside is not built to withstand wide variances in temperature, sun exposure, or creatures like any outdoor technology component requires. Both SunBrite and Séura offer a variety of weatherproof TV options suited for whatever Mother Nature throws at them. These TVs are designed with superior picture performance made for bright light.
A shaded gazebo area may experience partial shade for the majority of the day, and a SunBrite TV Signature Series offers a UHD 4K anti-glare screen that’s perfect for both daytime and nighttime viewing. A lounge area by the pool with all-day, full-sun exposure would be well-suited with the Séura Ultra Bright with UHD 4K. Each of these outdoor TV placements calls for an expertly selected outdoor TV and a professional installation.
Complement Picture with Audio
Just as you wouldn’t want to install indoor TVs outside, you don’t want to install indoor speakers in your patio spaces. With Coastal Source, you can blanket your entire Carmel-area property with high performance with a variety of speaker styles.
With buried subwoofers, directional sound, and contemporary styles, bollards and bullet styles bring higher fidelity and efficiency to your favorite music, movies, and TV shows outdoors. The experts at Digital Home Design can also ensure speakers aim where you want the audio – near the TV and around the pool instead of directing towards the neighbors’ yards. These speakers are also made to withstand the elements for years to come, designed with heat dissipation and waterproof technology.
Support Your Devices
To support your outdoor TV, audio, and personal devices, it’s essential to expand your Wi-Fi network, too. With a site assessment, we can determine where to place additional wireless access points in order to support your streaming devices. With an expanded and upgraded outdoor network, annoying buffering symbols and lag things of the past.
