Outdoor TVs at Abt
When summer rolls around, there's nothing better than firing up the grill and putting a live sports game on the big screen. Doing this, though, requires multitasking which often means running in and out of the house so you don't miss a play or burn the food. Eliminate that stress altogether when you invest in an outdoor TV, the ideal device for backyard entertainment. Utilizing a hydrophobic treatment for the internal parts, these flat-screen TVs are durably designed to handle weather elements like snow, rain and intense cold and humidity. Some are even designed with aluminum casting around the device in order to prevent long-term rust. Soak up the sun with a snack in hand, as these screens will continue to play and stream your favorite movies and shows without overheating; some are even anti-glare. Outdoor TVs can be a great upgrade to movie nights as well; while projectors are popular for backyard viewing parties, these flat-screens can provide higher-quality visuals with their solid colors and clarity.
Choosing An Outdoor TV
While Abt carries basic LCD outdoor TVs, a majority of the models at Abt are LED and OLED. LEDs create stunning, backlit pictures while maintaining a thinner build and using less power. Their local dimming function is able to produce bold, high-contrast images. OLEDs are quite similar in that they, too, have rich contrast, but the brightness can be controlled at a pixel level, making the visuals even more striking. When choosing your outdoor TV, there's also the resolution of your screen to consider. Abt's models range between 1080p and 4K. 4K resolution has four times the number of pixels as 1080p, which means it has far more color depth and the picture is more intensely detailed. Ultimately, 4K makes your viewing experience more lifelike and vivid. Most of our outdoor TV models have HDR technology as well, which offers a wider range of colors, shades and hues. We carry a range of outdoor TV sizes, from 32 to an impressive 85 inches. It's important to get a wider screen if you want to be able to see your media from any spot in the backyard. Although, if you plan on sitting directly in front of your TV, picking a too-large screen can cause eye strain. Consider your viewing space and your seating arrangement in order to pick the optimal size.
Device Details & Features
Several of our outdoor TVs also have smart technology, which means they can connect to your home Wi-Fi and are built with processors that give you access to different apps and streaming services. Newer models even have built-in voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. To expand on the smart capabilities, you can plug Blu-ray players, cable boxes, video game consoles and other devices into the multiple inputs in these TVs. The outdoor TVs at Abt can have up to four HDMI cable inputs. Just remember to bring your external devices inside your house once you're done playing or watching, as these are not weatherproof. Installing these flat-screens is quite different than setting it up in your home and can be very challenging for an amateur; doing it the wrong way can even damage your TV. Local Abt customers can take advantage of our high-quality installation services to avoid any chance of harm.
