Outdoor TVs

Don't you wish you could enjoy the big game while soaking up the sun? Outdoor TVs are designed to withstand weather such as rain, snow, cold, heat, humidity, even salt air. Enjoy your favorite sporting events, shows, and movies while being outdoors. Having an outdoor entertainment system is perfect for those who enjoy a nice barbecue cooking while also watching the big game. In addition, you can put a new spin on movie nights. Curling up on your living room couch with popcorn is nice, but it's even better to have a movie night under the stars. Watching TV on your patio simply adds a unique ambiance. And you can even have grilled snacks instead of popcorn.

Choosing an Outdoor TV

When selecting the right outdoor television, size is one of the most important factors to consider. Depending on the size of your outdoor space, you'll want to make sure that you can view the TV screen from any area of your yard. In our TV buying guide, we provide a screen size and distance calculator so that you can determine the best screen size for your space. Standard TVs contain delicate circuitry where it's vulnerable to water and extreme temperatures. Outdoor TVs keep the weather at bay using a proprietary hydrophobic treatment for its internal parts. Some models even contain aluminum casting around the TV set to prevent rust. We recommend choosing a model with an anti-glare feature so sun rays won't affect the visibility of your screen. Also, consider the quality of the screen. There's a huge difference when it comes to Ultra HD 4K TV screens compared to standard HD. For example, 4K screens offer more precise images, better image depth, more colors, and an immersive cinematic experience. Also, Smart TVs are another excellent choice because you only need a power cord and Wi-Fi to stream your favorite shows and movies. No cable boxes or antennas are required! Not to mention Smart TVs allow you to access the web browser or even play games.

Installing your new outdoor television can be quite challenging, and doing it wrong could lead to damage to the television.
