Did You Know Outdoor TVs are Waterproof?
Some people may not even know that outdoor TVs exist. How is an outdoor TV different? The most important aspect is their resistance to the elements. An outdoor TV must withstand rain, humidity, heat, cold, and even infiltration by insects. Beyond that, outdoor TVs also need screens that can minimize reflections from ambient light and get bright enough for daytime viewing in lots of light.
Some people install regular indoor TVs in covered patio areas. Should you do that? We don’t recommend it. Most indoor TVs are made for controlled temperature conditions. Scorching summer temperatures could cause it to overheat, and freezing temperatures might render it inoperable for the next season. And indoor TVs are not prepared for outdoor humidity, not to mention that they can’t get wet in any way.
