Upgrade your Outdoor Entertainment with 4K Video

The weather on Delaware’s coast is finally feeling like spring. Warmer temperatures and sunny skies are ahead, and thoughts turn to getting outdoors. But the NBA playoffs are on, and you don’t want to miss the race to the finals.

With an outdoor entertainment system, you can sit back on the patio on Fenwick Island and not miss the game – day or night. Sure, anyone can hook up a TV outside. But with the salty ocean air and the cold Mid-Atlantic winters, you need special TVs if you want them to last.

Our partner SunbriteTV makes TVs that are purpose-built for the outdoors. Read on to learn more about outdoor TV and audio options.

Your TV, like anything that you put outdoors – especially electronics – needs to be able to stand up to the elements. Heat, cold, and humidity – not to mention bugs – can all wreak havoc on electronics.

SunBrite TVs are built to withstand the elements. They employ sealed aluminum casings that keep out bugs and protect against the weather extremes. The TVs are also designed with well-integrated ports to allow for solid cable fits and the ability to plug in streaming devices like a Roku stick.

Do you want 4K resolution? Sunbrite has you covered, offering the Ultra HD resolution in a variety of sizes ranging from 43 to 75 inches. Sunbrite offers 4K models designed to be used in full shade to partial sun.

If you want to soak up the sun while watching a Sunday game, there are HD (1080P resolution) full sun models available too. Sunbrite’s outdoor performance is accomplished with special screens that are designed for outdoor light situations, offering superior brightness and reduced glare.

What about sound? You want to hear that game ambiance with the roar of the crowd when there’s a spectacular dunk. While Sunbrite TVs have built-in speakers, you may want some upgraded sound.

One sensible choice is a weatherized sound bar. Similar to indoor models, these sound bars deliver richer audio than TV speakers. Sunbrite’s higher-end models feature the same aluminum construction and protected electronics, and are designed to operate in temperature extremes from -4 degrees F to 140 degrees F!

Looking for even better sound for movies and parties outdoors? Let us show you how to get great outdoor audio with Sonance outdoor speakers and a whole home music system. We can bring the same great audio from inside to your outside space, for both music and movies and TV.

What about more than just broadcast TV or cable outside? We can install an audio and video distribution system powered by a Crestron or Control4 home automation system. That way you can just as easily have the same entertainment sources outside as you do inside, with a single, simple, and customized interface that’s consistent for the whole house.

Embrace the Comforts of Home

We’ve all been through it. When you’re at someone else’s house, it’s impossible to figure out how to work their entertainment systems. There are multiple remotes, and you never know which to use to get what you want whether it’s watching a football game or starting a Netflix marathon.

Our audio video distribution systems are designed to be as intuitive as possible. From a dedicated touchpad or mobile app, you can pick out what you want to watch and where you want it to play. Don’t believe us? Get a feel for it with our Control4 tutorials! By working with us on all your properties, you can deal with the same controls all year long.

Take Advantage of Streaming

The great thing about streaming is that it lets you take your favorite entertainment with you wherever you go. You don’t have to load up your Blu-rays or CDs when you head out on vacation. Everything will be there ready for you when you make it to your vacation home. Through Sonos wireless speaker systems and AV receivers with Wi-Fi capabilities, we make it easy to access all your streaming services.
Sit down and relax in your media room to watch the latest Netflix release or create dedicated vacation playlists on Spotify that you can pull up directly from your phone. By incorporating streaming services into a professional audio and video distribution system, it’s never been easier to stay entertained no matter where you are.

Take Your Entertainment Outdoors

Of course, you didn’t head down to your vacation home in Bethany Beach to be cooped up indoors. You can enjoy the great view and breeze from your waterfront property on your pool or patio while listening to your favorite music through special outdoor Sonance speakers. Add some SunbriteTVs so you can watch the Eagles or put on a cartoon for the kids when they’re splashing around in the pool.

Boost Your Rental Value

When you’re trying to rent out your property in the winter, a professional home entertainment system is a great way to entice people. They may not want to spend a lot of time outdoors in the cold weather, so giving them access to movies, music, TV shows and more can make a huge difference. They can enjoy all the same perks your family does from intuitive control to access to their favorite streaming services. You can also include several iPort stations so they can connect their iPads or iPhones to listen to music.

An added perk of having a professional audio and video distribution system in place is that you can create a more elegant environment for high-end renters. All wires are discreetly hidden behind walls. You can manage the system from a sleek touchpad, and you can show off the latest audio and video technology to give off a great first impression and encourage return visits.
