Outdoor Living & Entertainment
Extend Your Living Space Outdoors
Some of the most popular entertainment spaces aren't inside the home at all. They're right outside the back door. Once North Texas weather warms up, everyone wants to be outdoors for barbecues, pool parties, al fresco dining, or simply relaxing in the fresh air, which makes a custom outdoor entertainment system a must-have upgrade. The Video General team in Grand Prairie designs and installs premium weather-resistant speakers, outdoor TVs, and accessories, then ties everything together with home automation so you can control landscape lighting, patio heaters, pool and spa equipment, and more from one app or remote. The result is a thoughtfully designed outdoor space that's easy to use and built to last.
Weatherproof Outdoor Audio
With outdoor audio, your family won't want to come back inside. We bring clear, even sound to your yard, garden, deck, or patio with outdoor speakers and landscape audio systems designed to disappear into your backyard, including custom-color rock speakers and speakers that look like landscape lights. Add an in-ground subwoofer for deep, full bass that fills the space. Stream from iOS or Android devices, Spotify, Pandora, or Apple Music and bring your entire music library outdoors for summer pool parties, weekend cookouts, or the big game with the neighbors.

Weatherproof Outdoor TVs
An outdoor TV lets you watch the game, catch the news, or host a family movie night right in your own backyard. But a standard indoor TV won't hold up to Texas heat, humidity, and rain. We install purpose-built weatherproof displays from brands like Samsung that are engineered to handle moisture and high temperatures, with bright, anti-glare screens that stay visible even in direct sunlight. Paired with the right outdoor TV mounts and covers, these TVs deliver a vivid picture and years of reliable performance, no matter the season.

Outdoor Entertainment FAQs
What does an outdoor entertainment system include?
An outdoor entertainment system typically combines weatherproof speakers, an in-ground subwoofer, and a weather-rated outdoor TV with streaming sources and a single control system. Video General can also integrate landscape lighting, patio heaters, motorized shades, and pool and spa controls, plus the home networking needed to keep everything connected. Every system is custom designed around how you use your backyard, patio, or pool area.
What is the difference between an outdoor TV and a regular TV?
Outdoor TVs are sealed against moisture, dust, and insects, rated for extreme heat and cold, and use high-brightness, anti-glare panels that stay watchable in direct sun. Many carry an IP rating that shows their level of protection. A standard indoor TV used outside can overheat, wash out in daylight, and fail quickly, and outdoor use usually voids its warranty. Browse our outdoor TVs to compare options.
Can outdoor speakers stay outside year-round in Texas?
Yes. The outdoor speakers we install are built to stay outside all year and are designed to withstand North Texas heat, UV exposure, heavy rain, and occasional freezes. Rock speakers, landscape speakers, and in-ground subwoofers are made with weather-resistant enclosures and hardware, so they keep sounding great season after season without being brought indoors or covered.
Can I control my outdoor audio, TV, and lighting from one app?
Yes. We integrate your outdoor audio, TVs, lighting, heaters, and pool and spa equipment into one smart home system from brands like Crestron and Control4. You can adjust music, turn on the TV, dim the landscape lighting, or set scenes like Pool Party or Movie Night from your phone, a handheld remote, or a weatherproof touch screen.
Do I need strong Wi-Fi in my backyard for outdoor entertainment?
Reliable coverage makes a big difference. Streaming music, outdoor TVs, security cameras, and smart controls all depend on a strong signal, and most indoor routers don't reach the back fence or pool. Video General designs home networking with weather-rated outdoor access points and wired connections, so your outdoor entertainment system streams smoothly without buffering or dropouts.
