Upgrade Your Game Day with Professional-Grade Visuals and Resort-Style Comfort

Your home should feel like a getaway. When you step out onto the patio, you should be able to watch the Wildcats or Cardinals play without worrying about the conditions. It should serve the same experience as a five-star sports lounge and be the go-to spot for big games and quiet movie nights under the stars.

We see a lot of homeowners try to save money by moving an indoor TV outside when setting up their patio. It seems like a simple fix, but living room screens aren’t built for the job. You’ll end up with a washed-out picture you can’t see and a broken piece of tech that won’t survive the first big storm. To create a great al fresco lounge, you need a screen built for the elements. 

At Automated Lifestyles, we help you design outdoor entertainment spaces that work year-round.

Defeating Daylight with High-Output Performance

The sun is the enemy of a good viewing experience. Most indoor TVs only offer about 250 to 300 nits of brightness. That is fine for a dark media room, but it makes the screen look like a grey mirror on a sunny afternoon.

To get that crisp, professional look, you need a display with massive light output. Purpose-built outdoor screens range from 1,000 to over 3,000 nits. You get vivid 4K HDR visuals even in direct sunlight. These units also come with specialized anti-glare coatings. You won’t have to deal with distracting reflections, which means you can focus on the score instead of the glare.

Built to Brave the Elements Year-Round

From the kick-off of the college basketball season in December to the late MLB playoff push in October, your luxury lounge needs to be ready. Indoor TVs have open vents to let heat out, but those same vents let moisture, dust, and humidity in. Once that happens, the internal boards start to corrode, and the TV eventually fails.

Outdoor TVs use weatherproof enclosures with high IP ratings to keep the internals bone-dry. They are sealed against rain, wind-blown dust, and even splashes from the pool. Internal cooling units help to maintain a stable temperature no matter what. Your TV will stay safe during a freezing winter night or the peak of a 100-degree afternoon.

These screens are also built much tougher than a standard TV. They feature powder-coated aluminum exteriors that won’t rust and tempered glass screens that can handle a stray ball or a falling branch.

Long-Term Value and Professional Integration

Putting the wrong gear in a high-end space is a big financial risk. Most manufacturers void the warranty the second an indoor TV goes outside. Dedicated outdoor displays have warranties that cover extreme temperature shifts and seasonal storms. 

The right equipment alone isn’t enough to achieve that luxury lounge environment. It needs to be paired with a professional installation. We make sure all cabling is weather-rated and integrate your lounge into your home automation. You get one-touch control of the TV, outdoor speakers, and patio lights from a single remote.

We also offer customer care services to keep your backyard running. Our membership plans provide ongoing support and proactive maintenance. We keep your system up to date so your lounge is always ready for kickoff.
