Not with the Sony BRAVIA + Leon Studio Frame 

If you dislike seeing a clunky black rectangle in your living room, artwork TVs are a dream for design-oriented homeowners like you. When not in use, the artwork TV transforms into a realistic painting or paper photograph on the wall, appearing so lifelike that guests will never know it’s a television. 

Unfortunately, most artwork televisions are great at displaying a matte art canvas, but don’t offer the highest video quality. Many ‘art TVs’ use a commercial display panel that is excellent for static images or low motion, but not ideal for action movies, sports, and games. 

If you want a true home theater experience, a TV like Samsung’s The Frame won’t take you there. Thankfully, there’s an alternative route that provides the best of both worlds: pair a Sony BRAVIA TV with Leon’s Studio Frame. 

Let’s Take a Closer Look. 

“Is Ketra really worth it?” 

It’s a common question searched online and asked by our showroom visitors. Because while Ketra is regarded as the gold standard of tunable lighting control, it does have a notably higher price tag than products like Philips Hue. So, is it really the best? 

To understand Ketra’s value, it’s best experienced in person. But until then, let’s explore what makes Ketra more than just another lighting product, and why it’s trusted by design professionals, homeowners, and architects alike.

Not Just Bulbs: A Complete Line of Architectural Lighting

While most smart lighting brands focus on retrofittable LED bulbs, Ketra offers an expansive architectural-grade line: recessed downlights, linear tape lights, and track lights, all fully color-tunable across 16 million colors. We can use Ketra alone to create complete lighting designs, from ambient and accent lighting to task-focused areas.

The technology is equally advanced: each Ketra fixture contains a 16-diode chip, giving it the precision to render the exact hues and dynamic white tuning you desire.

We’re a technology integrator, which means we implement business technology systems, including audio, video, security, and lighting. Lighting is a major part of what we do, and we help businesses remotely control and automate their lighting with customizable LED fixtures. 

But we aren’t architects or property builders. We partner with these professionals to bring technology solutions to life in new businesses and homes. In a similar way, we collaborate with lighting designers to supply the technical and electrical side of wonderful lighting design. 

We partner with designers at Light Can Help You to fulfill breathtaking lighting designs through smart technology and custom programming. Here’s how we work with lighting designers to complete commercial lighting projects in the Dallas, TX, area.

Update Your Downlights to LEDs & Reap the Benefits 

When most homeowners hear the phrase “lighting upgrade,” they assume it's as simple as swapping out an old bulb for a new one. However, switching from incandescent and CFL bulbs to LEDs can be a little more complicated for recessed/downlight fixtures. 

Downlights come in one of two forms: can or canless. Can lights feature a cylindrical housing behind the bulb, while canless lights are flush to the ceiling without any space around the light. No matter what you have, if your recessed lights still use older light bulbs, it’s time to upgrade to LEDs. 

Our partner DMF Lighting offers a Retrofit Kit that makes it easy to upgrade recessed lighting systems to high-quality LEDs. Let’s walk through how it works—and why it’s always worth upgrading to LED lighting.

A Look at ViewSonic’s Massive New Display on Wheels

This may be a bold claim, but we think ViewSonic’s new video display, the LDS135-151, may forever change business presentations and trade events. 

It’s rare that a new piece of tech truly shakes up the industry, but what we have here is essentially a portable, foldable video wall. 

The LDS135-151 is a 135-inch Direct View LED screen. Typically, most Direct-View LEDs require assembling multiple panels together, taking as long as two hours to install. Now, setup is reduced to as little as five minutes, and the massive display can be wheeled around the room or building. 

Let’s take a closer look at ViewSonic’s latest innovation.

Look Ahead & Upgrade to Make the Most of Your New Home 

Are you purchasing a home with a home control system? Congrats! If it’s all ready for you, you’ll love it. 

Unfortunately, that is not always the case. New homeowners are often left with an outdated system or one that’s missing components. Maybe there’s wiring and speakers in place for multi-room audio, but it’s not set up for you. Or perhaps there’s a centralized lighting system installed, but some of the keypads no longer work. 

Or maybe your new home doesn’t feature any smart home technology, but you’d still like to install it. It isn’t too late! Wherever your house is in the smart home journey, here’s a technology checklist to help you create a connected, convenient home. 

See What You’re Missing Without Professional Lighting Control

Do you dream of lighting that automatically adjusts throughout the evening, creating the perfect atmosphere on its own? Or do you wish you could turn off the entire house with just one tap of a button? 

Today, ‘smart’ Bluetooth and Wi-Fi bulbs are widely available in stores. But there’s a difference between owning a few smart LEDs and having a truly smart, centralized lighting control system. 

When you partner with a professional lighting designer, you’ll gain access to premium fixtures and smart lighting solutions that are only available through certified dealers. You’ll receive a clean, polished installation with all your lights and motorized shades connected to one central hub.

But if you’re still itching to buy some equipment, watch YouTube tutorials, and install it yourself? Let’s walk through the differences between professional and DIY lighting systems. 

Get the Custom Width & Length to Match Your Frame TV  

You care about how your home looks, right? You aren’t a college kid with thumb-tacked posters and a hodgepodge of random furniture. No, you’re an adult with taste and a home you take pride in. 

So, if you’re reading this, you probably understand the clash between interior design and setting up an attractive entertainment system. You could have the most beautifully cultivated furniture, artwork, and lighting—and then a clunky TV setup disturbs the entire aesthetic.  

Thankfully, many technology manufacturers are catching on and offering solutions to make TVs appear more aesthetically pleasing. Samsung’s The Frame television resembles a real piece of art when powered off, and fits ultra-slim to your wall. 

And now, audio manufacturer Leon has released a soundbar to perfectly fit the width and dimensions of any Frame AV. Meet the Leon FrameBar, the soundbar built for audio and design enthusiasts alike. 

The Soundbar Made for The Frame 

Leon’s FrameBar is custom-built to match the precise dimensions and frame color of any Samsung Frame TV, creating a unified, polished look. With its ultra-thin cabinet (as slim as 2.375 inches), the FrameBar installs flush to the wall using Leon’s exclusive mounting brackets.

Understand What Keeps Your Smart Home Running—and Why the Network Matters

A lot of homeowners assume their entire smart home shuts off the moment the internet drops. That's a fair assumption—most of us think of "smart home" and "internet" as the same thing. In reality, they're not. 

A well-designed Crestron Home system runs on several distinct layers, and only some of them depend on the internet at all. Knowing which layer does what helps you ask better questions before you invest in a system, and helps explain why reliability matters more than flashy gadgets.

For homeowners across Dallas-Ft. Worth, reliability starts long before you press a button. Here’s why Texadia Systems treats the network as an essential part of your smart home experience.

Outdoor Audio That Actually Endures All Weather 

Are you someone who prefers to purchase high-quality, long-lasting items rather than quick and convenient products that quickly fall apart? 

If that sounds like you, we’re willing to bet you’re a little nervous about investing in new outdoor audio or lighting equipment. Speakers that stay outside permanently—how long can they really last? 

While it may sound hard to believe, Coastal Source’s outdoor hardware is the real deal. We’ve had a very long partnership with Coastal Source and trust that their outdoor audio and lighting can endure even the harshest Texas weather, year after year. 

How Networking Powers Today’s Lighting, Shading, & Automation Systems

Most people tend to focus on the fun, flashy aspects of smart home living: beautiful lighting scenes, motorized shades, whole-home audio, etc. And it’s understandable—that’s the part you want to experience in your home. 

But what many homeowners don't realize is that every one of these experiences depends on something less visible: a professionally designed network. In this article, we'll explore how networking infrastructure supports today's most sophisticated smart homes in and around Dallas–Fort Worth, and what homeowners should consider when building or upgrading their residences. 

When ‘Smart’ Starts to Feel Complicated

Today’s homes are filled with technology designed to make life easier: smart bulbs, dimmers, apps, remotes, and voice assistants. But for many homeowners, the reality feels very different.

Instead of simplicity, there’s confusion. Which app controls the kitchen lights? Why do the shades use a different remote? Why are there six switches on one wall?

What appeared ‘smart’ initially quickly becomes fragmented. And over time, that friction impacts how you experience your home, turning everyday moments into small, repeated inconveniences.

Why It’s Time to Ditch the Single-Router, Multi-App Smart Home Setup

Does this sound like your home? 

You have a single, consumer-grade Wi-Fi router that’s used on every floor and in every room, serving sometimes dozens of devices at once. Your entertainment, home office, and smart devices all rely on this router alone—and sometimes your technology stalls or becomes unresponsive. 

On top of that, every IoT device has its own app, cloud account, and even sometimes its own physical remote. You’re left juggling three or four apps for the smart bulbs, another for the security cameras, and a pile of remotes to control your TV and soundbar setup. It’s madness! 

This was the old way. Thankfully, there is now a smarter, simpler approach to living with home technology, with help from your local integrator. 

How Hybrid Work Has Changed the Rules

The predictable 9-to-5 office no longer defines how buildings are used. Today, employees, vendors, and guests move in and out of offices on flexible schedules, and many spaces sit partially occupied (or unoccupied) throughout the week.

That variability introduces new vulnerabilities:

• Empty offices during off-hours
• Inconsistent staff presence
• Increased reliance on temporary access permissions
• Increased curiosity into who is onsite at any given time

As our habits change, our security should adapt alongside them. When staff members may only be in the office a few days per week or month, chasing them down to issue a new badge or replace keys is a quest that can easily fall through the cracks. But with a centralized, cloud-based platform—one that lets you access and update entry credentials from anywhere? It’s done in seconds. 

Let’s take a closer look at how Dallas-Fort Worth businesses are adapting their access control security for the hybrid workplace. 

Plan Ahead for Whole-Home Convenience & Control 

If you’re planning a new home build or a renovation, your technology systems should feel effortless. And the best systems aren’t bolted on after the drywall is finished; they should be thoughtfully designed into your home’s structure itself. That’s where Crestron stands apart.

Unlike many plug-and-play smart home solutions, Crestron becomes part of the fabric of the home. From lighting and shades to audio, video, and security, the system is designed alongside the architecture so every element works together seamlessly.

Here are five reasons discerning homeowners, builders, and design professionals across Dallas/Ft. Worth choose Crestron when building a new residence.

Great Technology Is Only the Beginning

A conference room won't connect before your client presentation. A video call drops audio halfway through a pitch. In both cases, the equipment isn't really the problem. The lost time is. 

Any number of reasons could have caused the drop in performance. The network could be overloaded, or a device could have updated its firmware before your meeting, disrupting crucial integrations. For reliable, uninterrupted operation, your technology needs ongoing attention and maintenance to keep it performing as well as it did on day one. 

That's why the partner behind your technology matters as much as the technology itself. Whether your business features video conferencing AV, digital signage, security systems, or a Crestron control platform, you need a technology provider that keeps your business running without a hitch. Here’s what to look for. 

Why the Most Successful Modern Offices Are Designed Systematically 

Most organizations move into an empty office space and from there, build their technology one room at a time. A conference room gets upgraded. A huddle space gets a new display. Another team purchases its own video conferencing solution. 

Over time, the office becomes a collection of disconnected experiences, with some rooms up to modern standards—and others left somewhere in the mid-2000s.   

Today’s leading organizations are taking a different approach. Instead of making isolated technology decisions, they're designing connected collaboration ecosystems that consistently support hybrid work and create a better experience for all employees, wherever they decide to meet. Here’s how they’re doing it.
