Make Sure You Have a Solution That Directly Matches Your Needs

As the weather warms up in Bergen County, we start getting a lot of inquiries from potential customers about how to get more out of their outdoor spaces. Of course, if you have a dedicated patio, pool or outdoor kitchen, it’s natural to seek ways of adding your favorite entertainment to the mix. 

Whether it’s to have a romantic movie night or recreate the tailgate experience in the comfort of home, TVs are a natural addition. However, people are understandably intimidated about bringing electronics outdoors. Will the TV withstand extreme winter storms? Will you be able to see the content in the sun’s glare?

As one of the top AV specialists in New Jersey, we’ve compiled a list of questions that will help you get an outdoor TV installation that best fits your home.

Where Do You Plan to Watch?

When installing your TV, you first need to know where you want to watch it. Do you want something by the pool or in a shaded area on your patio? While all our installations use IP-rated, weatherproof televisions, the specific model will depend on your viewing conditions.

Models range in brightness depending on if you’d like to watch in full sunlight, partly shaded or fully shaded areas. Suppose you’re not entirely sure of the amount of sunlight the TV will get. In that case, some include auto-calibration features that adjust the brightness level automatically as lighting conditions change throughout the day.

What Do You Want to Watch?

An outdoor TV installation entails more than finding the right model and installing it securely. The next thing you’ll want to figure out is what you want to watch. Do you want access to select streaming services? Would you like to connect your cable box as well for live sports? What about your Blu-ray player for a Friday-night movie? 

You’ll need a professional installation to connect all your indoor components to your outdoor equipment safely. We’ll not only ensure you have access to all the sources you want but provide an intuitive control solution that allows you to switch between them easily.

What Are You Doing for Audio? 

Finally, what’s an outdoor TV good for if you can’t hear what you’re watching? Even indoors, TV speakers won’t deliver the sound quality you expect, and that’s exacerbated outdoors, where audio needs to cut through more ambient noise. In fact, many outdoor TV models don’t even include built-in speakers for this reason.

That means that any outdoor TV installation should also include a speaker system. This can be limited to a few speakers near the TV or a more comprehensive speaker system covering all your outdoor spaces. For the latter option, you’ll be able to break it down into zones to listen to the TV broadcast by the patio while the kids have a playlist going by the pool. 

 

Enjoy the beautiful spring and summer weather with a professional-grade outdoor entertainment system.
