Can Outdoor TVs Really Stay Outside in Any Weather?
Outdoor TVs from brands like Séura and Stealth Acoustics are not only waterproof but also weatherproof. This means they can perform in temperatures ranging from -24 to 122°F. The durable casing protects the TV from dirt, debris, and sun damage, so it remains functional and vibrant all year round.
Do Outdoor TVs Still Look Good in Sunlight?
Ever tried using your phone or laptop in direct sunlight and struggled to see the screen? The same issue arises with indoor TVs when used outside.
Outdoor TVs are designed to be much brighter than their indoor counterparts, boasting up to 2,000 nits of brightness. For comparison, most indoor TVs offer only 450-550 nits. This higher brightness ensures you can enjoy movies and shows in vivid color and contrast, whether it’s day or night.
So Will It Look Too Bright at Night?
As the day progresses, your outdoor TV automatically adjusts its brightness levels to ensure a clear view without straining your eyes. The ultra-bright display that’s perfect at noon will dim to a comfortable level for evening movie nights.
Who Can Install My Outdoor TV?
Installing an outdoor television may involve trenching weatherized wires, connecting the TV to the network and power, and possibly installing an in-ground lift if you’re looking for an inconspicuous setup.
