Fast becoming a retailer of choice for home owners

If you want the best home-entertainment system in your house and you do not have that PhD in electronics, the thing to do is let someone who knows do it for you. On Samui, there is one place where you can get that kind of help - AVID

Most everyone enjoys music, television and good movies. The only problem is that today it is not as easy as it used to be in enjoying these things. Back in the old days you just turned on the TV and slipped in a VCR tape (though my mother still does not know how to record anything). Or you popped in a cassette tape and pushed play. Back then it was simple and very straightforward. Not anymore.

Because of people’s love for electronic entertainment, the once simple TV, radio and VCR are a thing of the past. There are still TVs, no doubt, but now you have to choose from projection, plasma, LCD, rear projection, 10-inch screen or 75-inch screen, plus all the myriad of high- definition options. You almost have to have a PhD in electronics to figure it all out.

Of course, what good is a nice, big, beautiful TV if you do not have a big booming surround sound system to complete your pleasure? Surround sound adds a whole new level to the TV/Movie experience. All you have to do is choose between satellite speakers, subwoofers, 3.1, 4.1 or 5.1 setups. Then be sure to add the HDD recorder with DVD player. Should you go ahead and buy a high-definition DVD player?

And what good is all this fancy equipment if you do not have a comfortable place to relax and enjoy it? Lying on the floor might be good for your back, but there are much better options for watching that new TV you just got.

It becomes obvious that if you want the best home-entertainment system in your house and you do not have that PhD in electronics, the thing to do is let someone who knows do it for you. On Samui, there is only one place where you can get that kind of help. Audio Visual Interior Design, or AVID, helps customers ease into all the high-tech gadgets so that they get exactly what they want and feel comfortable using it.

Building on five years of experience in the international marketplace, AVID provides its clients with a single point-of-contact for all their audio-visual, home-automation and furniture needs. It can transform your nicely designed house into a state-of-the-art luxury abode within budget and on schedule.

Although its particular specialty is the supply and installation of audio-visual equipment, AVID’s key strategic partnerships allow it to offer home-automation services including security, smart lighting and entertainment-system integration. It also has customized furniture packages as part of its interior-design services. This kind of one-stop shopping means significantly less headaches for customers who wish to save time, money and effort by having a single point of contact and a single quotation for all of the products and services they need to complete their dream home or investment property.

Having already successfully completed a number of large-scale projects on the island, AVID is fast becoming recognized as the retailer of choice for customers who need effective, friendly and knowledgeable service with prices that beat Tesco and Home Pro.

Whether you want a 5.1-surround Sound Home Cinema System or are looking to install complete home automation across a development of 100 properties, AVID’s experience and knowledge can complete the job to the highest standards. AVID also provides full after-sales support to its customers.

AVID’s service should not be viewed as an investment, as recent research has shown that the increased returns on the sale of a “smart” home significantly exceed the value cost of the equipment and installation.
