Choosing the Best Outdoor TV: Features that Matter

• An outdoor TV will perform better than an indoor TV installed outside. By the way, it’s a bad idea to use an indoor TV outside.
• Outdoor TVs can withstand the rigs of the weather. We are talking torrential rain, extreme temperatures, humidity, salt water, direct sunlight, and even bugs.

Here are the features to tick off before you take your outdoor TV home.

Shaded vs. Partial-Shaded vs. Full Sunlight

• Outdoor TVs are in these three categories. You need to consider the sunlight conditions of your patio before choosing the TV you like.
• Full shaded TVs have to be installed in places that do not receive lots of sunlight. These are places like in a screened gazebo, enclosed patio, or pool room. For partial shaded TVs, they can be mounted in areas that receive a bit of sunlight but are not directly lit. Learn cheap options for enclosing your patio.
• Full sunlight TVs can be mounted directly under the sun like in swimming pool areas. They come with anti-glare screens and are fully-weatherproofed.

TV Size

• Consider how many guests you need to entertain and the location you intend to install it. Outdoor TVs are up to 75 inches in size. As long as everyone can view from all angles, a large sized model won’t be any better than an average 40-inch TV. Knowing the best place for your TV and how to install it goes a long way in making sure all your guests are fully entertained.

TV Weatherproofing

• Your outdoor TV should withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -24F to 104F. They should have internal heaters and the means to independently control condensation and humidity. Not to mention outdoor housing in powder-coated steel, anodized aluminum, superior shield enclosures like from high molecular weight polyethylene. You can always add a cover to protect your TV further.

TV Picture Quality

• The performance of your TV is largely dependent on the quality of the screen. You should look for high-tempered and anti-reflective glass that can deliver rich imagery on bright and sunny days. Brightness technologies also make a whole lot of difference in any outdoor TV.
• We are talking enhanced brightness through HDR, ambient lighting sensors, quantum dot technology, and many others.

TV Sound

• A TV that can be integrated with a sound system is your best bet. Most outdoor TVs come with inbuilt or removable outdoor speakers, but they are never enough on their own.

FAQ for Choosing an Outdoor TV 

Conclusion Outdoor TVs can be a costly affair if you get a yeah-yeah model. That is to say, buying from a brand with no real features that showcase the benefit of the TV. It’s better to be safe with a TV that has been tested to meet real-world performance, even though it will be much more expensive than an indoor TV.
