April arrives with warm, agreeable spring days in California. Now that daytime temperatures are climbing into the 70s and evening temps are balmy but not cold, you may be ready to spend more time relaxing on the patio after work and on the weekends. Plus, summer sunshine will be here before you know it — and we know you’re ready for the swimming, tailgates, and barbecues that come along with summer fun. Now is the right time to invest in an outdoor TV to enjoy movies, TV shows, and sporting events on the patio and pool deck.

If you’re considering bringing an indoor TV outside, we strongly advise against it for several reasons. Standard TVs aren’t designed for outdoor use — and your wallet will end up suffering the consequences. At ZHiFi, we recommend a high-quality TV from Séura, a leading brand in the outdoor television industry. Keep reading to learn why Séura is the better choice for your Brentwood, CA, outdoor spaces.

We live in a busy world where productivity equals long hours at work. But all those long hours can take their toll, especially if we aren’t getting enough sleep at night. Often when you’ve been on the go all day, it's difficult to shut down at night and then even harder to wake up in the morning. But the solution could be as easy and correcting the light in your home. With circadian lighting installed in your San Marino home, you can get the kind of sleep you need to keep healthy and happy. 

Sunday afternoons are for relaxing and enjoying the people and things you love most. And when it’s cold outside, a nice warm fire in the fireplace is the perfect ingredient to bring it all together. The only thing that can mar a perfect cozy winter day inside is not having enough lighting. And when the days are shorter, you want to get as much natural light as possible.

If you have motorized blinds in your Brentwood, CA home, you can get the perfect amount of daylighting to read a book or do a crossword without ever leaving your comfy chair.
