Ultra-Bright Television
Some homeowners prefer TV displays over projectors. If you’ve decided to go this route, you should know that your average Sony flat-panel probably won’t withstand the elements. Everything from a light rain to a wayward football can easily damage it. And, of course, you’ll need to consider how the TV will combat ambient outdoor lighting situations.
SunBrite TVs are the perfect solution. Capable of ultra-bright images that will stand up to even the harshest sunlight, they’re the ultimate outdoor TV. Plus, they’re super durable. They’ve been tested against the toughest of outdoor elements – rain, sleet, snow and even Frisbees. In fact, they’re even rumored to have been tested against bullet impact!
And if size is a factor, you won’t be disappointed. SunBrite TVs come in sizes up to 80 inches. With a TV that big, you’ll be able to enjoy your entertainment from just about anywhere in your yard.
Rear-Projection Screen
If you decide to go with a more traditional screen and projector setup, it’s a great idea to take advantage of the extra space afforded to you outdoors with a rear-projection setup. Unlike a normal theater arrangement, where the projector sits behind the viewers and the screen reflects its light to create the image, a rear-projector sits behind the screen. A special material in the screen filters light through so you can see everything clearly.
Rear-projection has a lot of benefits. First of all, you’ll never see shadows running across your screen every time someone gets up to pour a drink. But more than that, you’ll enjoy a bright picture with robust colors. Rear-projectors offer higher lumens, making them brighter than their front-projection counterparts. And because they don’t depend on light reflection, they’re ready to combat high ambient light situations.
