The Soundbar Built for Samsung’s Frame TVs

the-soundbar-built-for-samsungs-frame-tvs

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.

Is Ketra Lighting Worth It?

is-ketra-lighting-worth-it

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.

The (Actual) Smartest Tape Lights for 2026

the-actual-smartest-tape-lights-for-2026

For Smooth, Tunable White Light & Integrated Home Control 

Who doesn’t love a subtle, ambient glow under cabinets or bookshelves? Or gentle illumination behind a mirror and cove ceilings? In the past decade or so, tape lights have become a favorite of interior designers and design-minded homeowners. 

Yet people often purchase DIY tape lights that leave much to be desired. “Best Of” lists by Wirecutter and similar publications recommend cheap, low-end models that: 

  • Offer very few color options 
  • Leave visible ‘dots’ between lights 
  • Are too dim to provide task lighting in kitchens and offices 
  • Don’t include remote access and control 
  • Don’t include sophisticated automation and scheduling 
  • Lack true natural white, appearing either ultra-bright or nearly orange 

If you’re looking for a high-performance, luxury experience from your tape lights, let us point you towards Lutron and Ketra, the top names in smart lighting control today. Maybe you already have a Lutron lighting control system, or perhaps you’re new to the world of whole-home smart lighting. Here’s what makes their tape lights truly the best available today. 

Wi-Fi 7: What It Is & Why You Need It

wi-fi-7-what-it-is-why-you-need-it

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.

How Can I Display Multiple Feeds at Once on My Video Wall?

how-can-i-display-multiple-feeds-at-once-on-my-video-wall

Getting Started with Direct-View LED Walls 

From command centers to retail spaces, all types of businesses thrive with a video wall display. 

While the video wall has been around for quite some time (first introduced in the early 1980s), the latest, greatest version in 2025 is the Direct View LED Video Wall. Unlike previous iterations, DVLEDs don’t use a backlight to display an image. Instead, each individual LED diode is both a light source and a pixel. Each pixel emits its own light, creating richer colors and a smooth, grid-free image. 

Direct View LED walls are also completely modular and scalable to any size or aspect ratio—which is especially helpful for any business looking to get creative with their video wall display. You don’t have to stick to one image or video on the screen. Why not use your wall-sized screen to share all the content you desire? 

Whether you need game coverage in a sports bar or wayfinding content in an airport, a commercial integrator like Texadia Systems can help you customize the number of images/videos on display. Here’s how it works. 

Two Essential Components: the Processor & Controller 

To set up your video wall’s display, you’ll need a quality processor and controller, which serve two very distinct purposes:

The Hidden Costs of DIY Smart Lighting

A luxurious living room with warm-toned Lutron lighting.

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. 

New from Lutron: The Timeless Aviena Lighting Control Keypad

Elevating Interior Design with a Touch of Brass 

When many people hear ‘home automation,’ they think of glossy screens and futuristic gadgets. But Lutron offers a refreshing alternative for whole-home lighting control: the Aviena keypad. 

Designed with antique charm and performance, Aviena proves that smart technology can also be beautiful.

If you’re in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and planning a luxury home build or renovation, here’s why this new lighting control solution deserves your attention.

Improve Sound & Office Privacy in a Glass Wall Conference Room in Dallas, TX

b2ap3_large_how-to-eliminate-echo-improve-privacy-in-a-glass-walled-conference-room-1

Glass-walled conference rooms are a hallmark of today’s modern, open-concept office. In urban Dallas offices—especially coworking spaces, design firms, and corporate headquarters—they offer sleek aesthetics, natural light, and a sense of transparency.

However, they come with two major acoustic challenges: echo and lack of privacy.

If your glass wall conference room in Dallas, TX, sounds more like a gymnasium than a meeting space, you’re not alone. Fortunately, solutions like acoustic treatments, sound masking, and AV integration can transform your space into a functional, private environment. Let’s explore how.

Collaboration Spaces: What Are They & What Are They Used For?

Conference Rooms & Collaboration Spaces: Two Distinct Concepts 

If your team is still trying to make hybrid work work, or if traditional conference rooms aren’t delivering the results you expect, it may be time to consider a shift.

Search interest in “collaboration space” has nearly quadrupled since 2014, peaking this past summer 2025. But what exactly are these spaces, and how do they differ from the conference rooms most offices already have?

Let’s unpack the meaning, benefits, and use cases of collaboration spaces—and why they’re quickly becoming essential across industries.

What Is a Collaboration Space?

A collaboration space is an environment purpose-built to support idea generation, creativity, and problem-solving with some hybrid communication. Unlike traditional conference rooms that often cater to static presentations, collaboration spaces are interactive and flexible.

These rooms should feature modular, easily-moved furniture, dynamic room layouts, and technology designed to enhance group productivity, whether the team is in-person, remote, or both. Think interactive whiteboards, integrated video conferencing, in-ceiling audio, and intuitive room controls, all working together in one seamless solution.

If your Dallas/Ft. Worth workplace still relies primarily on large conference rooms, you may be missing one of the most effective collaboration spaces in modern offices: the huddle room.

Building a House? 5 Reasons to Loop in a Technology Integrator

building-a-house-5-reasons-to-loop-in-a-technology-integrator

You’ll Want These Features Installed Before Walls Are Finished Over 

It takes a village to build a new house or complete a renovation. There’s your general contractor, of course, but under them, you may have a carpenter, roofer, plumber, mason, electrician, etc. And if you’re planning to build a luxury home, there’s another contractor you’ll want: a technology integrator. 

The role of the integrator is to install technology systems that work together. Whether that’s whole-home audio, security systems, or smart lighting, it all connects back to one centralized system. At Texadia Systems in Dallas-Fort Worth, we discreetly run wires and install devices so that they fit seamlessly within your space. 

It’s best to loop in an integrator as early as possible during your home’s construction. Here’s why you’ll be grateful you did so. 

5 Reasons to Hire an Integrator for Your New Home Build

  • Home security cameras

Do You Have to Sacrifice Picture Quality for an Artwork TV?

A living space with a Sony BRAVIA TV and Leon Studio Frame above a fireplace.

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.

Architectural Lighting Design Isn’t Indoors-Only

The Outdoor Lighting Evolution: How Architectural Fixtures Transform Backyards After Dark

Does your outdoor living space disappear the moment the sun sets? 

Many luxury homes in Dallas–Fort Worth feature stunning architecture and manicured landscapes. But they retreat into the shadows at night. People want to entertain their friends and family outdoors, but may unintentionally leave their backyard vacant after dark. 

That’s why outdoor lighting is increasingly moving beyond the harsh, utilitarian floodlight of the past. Today, landscape lighting is an essential component of a home’s design, extending your property’s usable, livable square footage. 

If you’re still relying on a single porch light at home, get inspired by the following outdoor architectural lighting possibilities. 

From Complexity to Clarity: How Unified Lighting & Shading Simplifies Daily Life

TEXSYS_AprilContent1_UnifiedLightingShading

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.

6 Apps to Control Your Home? There Must Be a Better Way

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

You Don’t Need a Dedicated Space for the Home Theater Experience

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

Buying a New House or Building? Here’s How to Make It Smart

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.

Client Success Story: Transforming Tedious Tech Into a Smooth, Integrated Experience 

When a leading financial institution in Dallas/Ft. Worth expanded its office with a new floor, they knew they would need new AV technology. But after evaluating their existing systems, they realized it may not be as simple as adding on new tech. 

The problem? Their previous technology stack was anything but simple. Frequent reboots, inconsistent room experiences, and disjointed systems created barriers to productivity, and eroded their confidence in the technology.

That’s where Texadia Systems stepped in with a plan: simplify, standardize, and stabilize.
