Hidden Television

We often receive inquiries from clients asking how can they hide or mask their TV from being the focal point of their room.  Often times TV's can be concealed within a piece of furniture.  Here at Central Coast AV we will often use TV lifts to raise, lower or slide the TV into and out of view. 

However, with displays often mounted above fireplaces, it sometimes becomes quite tricky.  This is where products from Seura, Hidden TV or Vutec come into play. 

Seura offers exceptional mirrored TV's which keep the TV in plain view but your guests will never know.  Typically framed, Seura utilizes a patented mirror technology to hide your TV when turned off.  When On you get a bright crisp image standard of a typical ugly black bezel LED TV.

If you're an Art buff and want your favorite painting to conceal your TV when not in use then Artscreen by Vutec is the way to go.  ArtScreen transforms a Flat Panel Display into a work of art. Inside a beautiful frame, the artwork ascends or descends with the touch of a remote. When the screen or television is not in use, the digital art-on canvas image of your choosing is displayed within the frame. When your artwork is retracted, the video display is visible for viewing.

Now neither of these products should/would be chosen from the right side of the menu.  These are first class options used to conceal your TV when maintaining the integrity of your interior design is absolutely crucial.  Below are links to a 55" Mirrored TV we installed in a clients home in Hidden Hills, California.

Home automation gets cheaper, smarter, easier

The promise of widely available home automation has been around since "The Jetsons" aired 50 years ago. But until recently, smart- home systems have been pricey and complex, typically requiring professional installation. And few consumers have been aware of the availability of such services or haven't been convinced that they needed them. But in recent years, major consumer service providers — including ADT, Comcast and Vivint — have entered the market, helping promote the concept of home automation and make it more accessible to average consumers. Companies such as Comcast and Vivint now offer basic home-automation systems for less than $500 installed. And Lowe's Iris, which is available for about $300 for a full system, is designed for self-installation. "We definitely see that (home automation) is moving increasingly into the mainstream," said Jonathan Collins, an analyst with ABI Research.

New home construction down last month

Construction of new homes nudged down slightly in May, with builders pulling back in the Northeast and Midwest. Housing starts ticked down 0.3 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.16 million units, the Commerce Department said Friday. The government's residential construction report can be volatile on a monthly basis, which might explain the slight decrease. Home construction has improved much of this year, with single-family houses accounting for much of the gains unlike recent years when developers focused more on apartments.
