Condense Your Apps Into One Smart System 

To any homeowner who’s interested in smart home living, we tell them the best decision they can make is having a professional install a home automation system. 

But this recommendation is often received with skepticism. “I don’t need a whole smart home system!” they say. “I just want some smart lights and a smart thermostat and a few other things.” 

Fine, fine, fair enough. But as you begin to collect more smart home devices over the years, you may find yourself in over your head with apps and remotes. Here’s where it can go wrong. 

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. 

What Should My Sound System Look Like? 

If you’re interested in audiophile-quality speakers, sound performance should obviously be your top priority. 

For the best sound, look for reputable brands with high-quality materials, large drivers, and the ability to accurately replicate high, low, and mid-range sound frequencies. (Unsure where to start? Use our hi-fi guide here.) 

And while sound quality is undeniably important, your new speakers’ appearance matters, too. After all, you’re going to live with this hardware in your home for years and even decades. You should like how the hardware looks! 

The following speaker brands not only offer incredible ‘inner beauty,’ but their outer beauty makes a great choice for the design-conscious homeowner. 

Stunning & Floorstanding 

Italy is known for its incredible fashion design (Armani, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana)—and speaker design, too! Sonus Faber has been handcrafting hi-fi speakers in Vicenza, Italy, for almost half a century. 

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. 

Host In-Person and Hybrid Meetings with Ease 

Is your company building new conference rooms or renovating your existing ones?

What an exciting opportunity! You have the chance to create a dynamic, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing space that makes it easy to collaborate—even with remote team members. 

To prepare your business for a future of successful meetings, make sure the following features are on your conference room checklist. 

Faster, More Reliable Wi-Fi for the Modern Home 

Not too long ago, we were writing about the exciting new internet protocol, Wi-Fi 6. But as our homes become ever more connected—and Audio Video streaming quality improves—that puts even more demand on our Wi-Fi. 

Enter Wi-Fi 7, the newest iteration of Wi-Fi standards, now available on home networking devices from brands like WhyReboot and Ruckus. Wi-Fi 7 offers accelerated connectivity, solid reliability, and performance that only compares to wired networks. Streaming 8K, gaming online, and smart home devices are all improved with a Wi-Fi 7 network. 

Here’s what you can expect from a Wi-Fi 7 upgrade and why you’ll be thankful you switched. 

What Is Wi-Fi 7? How Is It Different? 

The new Wi-Fi 7 promises enhanced speeds and reliability. Intel describes Wi-Fi 7 as having “wired-like responsiveness.” It packs more data into each transmission with 320 MHz channels—double the size of Wi-Fi 6. 

Wi-Fi 7 arrives at a perfect time, as 4K and 8K streaming becomes even more prevalent. Wi-Fi 7 can easily handle high-quality 8K video streaming, so you can enjoy movie night without buffering and pixelation.

Get the Benefits of Remote Work without the Downsides 

We love hybrid work. It’s incredibly convenient, widens talent pools, and helps people live their best lives without the stress of long commutes and finding local housing. 

But have we lost something without seeing each other in person? Face-to-face interactions lead to fewer misunderstandings, more effective communication, and stronger bonds. So, when your teams aren’t in person together, it’s critical to replicate the face-to-face experience the best way possible.

A well-designed video conferencing system not only ensures effective communication but also creates an inclusive environment where every team member feels equally valued. Let’s explore how advanced conferencing technology can improve hybrid communication and create a more welcoming company culture. 

Meet Q-SYS, the Modern AV Platform for Businesses

In today’s IT-driven world, everything from security to communications is built on scalable, software-driven solutions—except, for many businesses, AV. 

Traditional AV systems are still clunky, hardware-heavy, and difficult to integrate, leaving IT teams scrambling to manage disparate devices that don’t play well together. 

If your AV setup feels like a constant headache—requiring custom programming, endless troubleshooting, and costly upgrades—you’re not alone. But it doesn’t have to be this way. The Q-SYS OS by QSC is changing the game, bringing the same IT-friendly approach to AV that businesses have relied on for decades in their networking and software infrastructures. Here’s how it works—and why your business needs it.

Create a Versatile Media Room with Home Theater-Level AV 

Do you crave the ultra-wide screen, surround sound, and cinematic experience that a home theater provides—but aren’t sure if you have room for a home theater? Or maybe you do have the space yet wonder how often you’ll use a room with only a screen and seating. 

There’s a happy medium between dedicated home theaters and a living room setup, and that’s the media room. Perhaps a media room is a better fit for your Highland Park, TX home. You can still enjoy the high-quality audio and video setup you’d find in a home theater installation, but with more flexibility for other activities. 

Below we’ll share how you can create a multipurpose media room and what equipment to include. And to learn more about the world of home theaters, subscribe to our monthly newsletter here! 

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.
