Summer weather is finally here. Now that you have spruced your yard so it’s entertainment worthy, you will really notice the benefits of a relaxing lifestyle. One bonus feature you may not be fully taking advantage of with your outdoor TV is the time your kids spend outdoors.

Most of us work five days a week in an office, under fluorescent lights, typically without a window, or at least not one with a nature view. When we come home we are usually exhausted and with lots of items still on the to-do list, we spend the rest of the day inside before eventually collapsing on the coach to watch some TV. It’s no secret that an indoor lifestyle is bad for our physical and mental health, what research is now able to show is just how good being outside actually is for us.

The sun is out, the outdoor TV is programmed for a stunning line-up of entertainment, that can only mean one thing: it’s barbecue season.

When TVs first became available and affordable in the average home it was common to buy one set and use it basically for the life of the owner. The box cabinet would be set up in the corner of the lounge room and pretty much stay there forever, only to be retired when the picture literally became unwatchable.
