Golf-course homes in Providence and ChampionsGate, and glare from the fairway side
The golf-course homes in Providence and ChampionsGate are built to look out at the fairway, which means the TV competes with a wall of sliding glass. Depending on which way the house faces, morning or afternoon sun comes across the course and lands on the opposite wall, so the screen goes on a side wall where the light rakes past it, and a tilt bracket set a few degrees down handles the rest. The installer checks the room in the light you watch by. Great rooms here are often tall with long sight lines, and the screen gets sized to the seating distance rather than the size of the wall. The lanai is the second TV. An outdoor-rated set under the roof, on the house wall that faces away from the fairway, stays out of the line of a sliced drive. Glare off the pool counts too. Block lanai walls take Tapcons through the stucco, each hole sealed, with the +$99 masonry surcharge. Inside, in-wall concealment is $99 per TV wherever an interior wall allows it. Golf-course installs in Davenport run 60-90 minutes per set.
