Do You Really Need an Outdoor TV?

The first question might be, do you need an outdoor TV? The answer is yes. Outdoor TVs are built to withstand the elements like heat, cold, wet, dust, and even insects. So, while an indoor TV mounted under the cover of your patio might seem like a good idea, it's not likely to withstand the grueling Texas summers for many seasons and will also be susceptible to damage from humidity, dust, and those pesky bugs. 

Where Will Your TV Be Installed?

The good news is that with outdoor models from top brands like Sunbrite and Samsung, you can install the right TV virtually anywhere, whether by your pool in the sun, on your patio, by your fire pit, or wherever. You just need to choose the right TV, as some models are better suited for shade, partial shade, and full sun. They will differ in brightness, contrast, construction, and other specifications that tailor them for specific installation locations. 

What Else Should I Look For?

Whether for shaded or sunny locations, outdoor TVs will have different screen coatings and brightness specifications, among other details. If you plan for a full-sun installation, look for a TV with a good anti-glare screen, very high brightness, and the ability to sit in the Texas sun without overheating. In partial shade areas, you may look for TVs that can adjust automatically to changing light conditions.
