Are outdoor TVs the same as indoor TVs? Sure, to the extent that they are all…TVs. Just as not all TVs are made the same, outdoor TVs are quite different from indoor models. Are they more expensive? Yes, and there's a reason.

You can spend as little as $500 for an indoor 65-inch TV or as much as $2000. What's the difference there? Plenty, when you start looking at features, build quality, and a host of important differences that greatly impact the viewing experience. 

So, what’s so different about outdoor TVs, and why should you spend more for one (or two)? Keep reading below for three key reasons you want a real outdoor TV for your Woodstock, GA patio, or outside space. 

Is good outdoor sound just a function of buying the right equipment? Yes and no. Quality speakers and amplifiers are always a key to superior sound, but outdoors you must take a few things under consideration.

And there's more. Here are four helpful tips for planning an outdoor sound system for your Miramar Beach, FL home. 

It’s August, and Georgia weather is still, well, warm and humid. Fear not, though; fall is coming! Late September and October will bring more comfortable, dryer weather to the South, perfect for most outdoor pursuits.

You’ve decided this is the year you are going to invest in an outdoor audio system. Congratulations, you have made a great choice! At GHT Group, we have always thought that audio and video entertainment is not exclusively an indoor sport.

Outdoor sound, however, is not the same as indoor sound. There are a few things to contend with that you don't have to worry about inside. Indoors, it doesn't rain on your audio equipment. Most of the time, you don't have to worry about a clandestine wasp nest being built on the back of your speaker either. And finally, there are fewer walls and ceilings outside – more specifically, almost none.

We jest, but these are the things that make a distinct difference between an indoor and outdoor audio system for your Woodstock, GA home. Now, keep reading for three mistakes to avoid (hint, it's easy), and you'll be on your way to a killer sound system to make your outside spaces much more fun.
