Outdoor TVs Are Becoming Popular
An Outdoor TV is Made to Withstand the Elements
As we rediscover the great outdoors, many families are extending their living area outdoors. Covered patios, and outdoor kitchens along with an outdoor TV make it easy to enjoy the comforts of home when relaxing outside.
Sure you can move your big screen TV outside, but conventional TVs won't hold up up very long to the harsher elements Mother Nature will dish out.
More Durable Build Quality
Outdoor TVs are built to withstand moisture by wrapping them in a protective barrier. So they last for many years instead of a season or two. Even if your outdoor patio is in Alaska or New Mexico.
Manufacturers harden their outdoor televisions to protect them against rain, snow, dust, UV Rays, and bugs by shielding them in protective armor. They are built with heavy-duty cables, sealed connectors, and stronger specially coated LED TV screens. Plus they are built to function reliably under a more extreme range of temperatures.
Now we are also seeing more outside televisions with built-in media streamers. This is also important, otherwise, you would also need to build a special sealed box to keep your media streamer protected from outside weather.
Different Types of Outdoor Television Screens
When shopping for a TV that will spend a good part or all of its life outdoors, here's what to look for. One of the most important things to consider is where your television will be placed. Because if it's in full sun, you'll need to find a TV designed with a brighter screen. If your TV is in the shade you can often save money because the brighter screens are a lot more expensive.
These are Some of Today's Top Rated Outdoor TVs
As more consumers fall in love with outdoor living spaces, we expect more television manufacturers to add outdoor TV models. This should help push prices lower and offer consumers additional choices to enhance their outdoor living spaces.
SEURA - Builds some nice quality outdoor televisions. They offer a 65" and 75" model. And this model comes with a 50 Watt outdoor Soundbar and a special weatherproof compartment to add a Roku, Fire TV or other media player.
SunBrite Outdoor Smart TV - This TV is less money and it comes with an Android media streamer already built-in. So you can access a wide range of apps from the Google Play Store, or sideload apps directly from the Internet for even more choices. It costs less than a SEURA and the built-in speakers come with a 20-watt amp and are not half bad. It also includes a special water-tight compartment for adding a Roku, Apple TV, or other media streamer. They offer several sizes which include 32", 43", 55" and a whopping 84" model.

Limitations of Outdoor TVs
If you can get past the higher price, outdoor televisions also have some of the same limitations as indoor flat-screen TVs. The sound from tiny speakers is not great. And you'll probably want to invest in some type of outdoor sound system. Marine speakers can be recessed into the ceiling, like the Pyle Home PWRC63. Or you can even find a weatherproof soundbar.
The Boss Audio Systems BRT26RGB is a great choice because it is IPX5 rated, and it was made to be used in ATVs and UTVs, so you know it's rugged enough for patio use duty. It even comes with some cool LEDs and nice remote control.
