Everything You Need To Know About An Outdoor TV
July 13th, 2021
If you love the idea of an outdoor entertainment area for your family, then an outdoor TV provides the perfect centrepiece for all the hours of entertainment you can look forward to. We all love to spend time outside, but when it comes to audio visual entertainment, we often retreat indoors, losing the benefit of fresh air, and for many of us, losing the extra space of our garden, especially when we are entertaining guests.
With an outdoor TV, you can enjoy all of your favourite movies, TV shows and sporting events without having to leave the great outdoors, and without having to set up a projector screen, or drag an indoor TV onto your patio.
If you are wondering about what differentiates an outdoor TV from a standard television, or why you should make the investment, here’s all you need to know about outdoors TVs.
All day use, all year round
Whilst you may have brought out a TV before on summery days to show sport or films to your guests, I’m sure you experienced a few issues. For one, on a sunny day, you may have struggled with the glare on the screen, had to rush the TV back inside at the first hint or rain, or even damaged your TV in the process of moving it. The risk is generally not worth the effort!
Standard televisions are not designed for outdoor use, and so, they are not protected against any of the above. In contrast, outdoor televisions are specifically designed to deal with the challenges of outdoor entertainment:
- Anti glare screen to ensure you still get a great picture, even in bright sunlight.
- Weather resistant durability and scratch resistant screen to cope with rain or snow, as well as high and low temperatures – an outdoor TV can live outside permanently, secured to the wall of your outdoor entertainment environment.
- Seamless wireless connectivity to make your viewing experience as easy as possible, whether you want to show live TV, a bluray, or use your favourite streaming platforms and Smart TV apps
- Screen calibrated especially for outdoor use
You may have considered setting up a projector and screen in your outdoor entertainment area, and though a projector can be excellent for showing movies, as the evening draws in and natural light is reduced, an outdoor TV provides a great picture all day long!
Flexibility
Whilst a regular TV is certainly not well suited to outdoor use, you may wonder if an outdoor TV can be brought inside? The answer is yes, if you would rather use your outdoor TV inside at certain times of the year, then it will work absolutely fine inside your home, though it is built to withstand the elements.
When you consider flexibility, you may also wonder if an outdoor television is suitable for integration with your smart home systems, and the answer is yes! As well as being paired with your specialist outdoor speaker or surround sound systems, your outdoor screen can also be linked with all home technology systems, ensuring that you can easily switch from outdoor to indoor viewing if the weather takes a turn for the worse.
Whilst outdoor TV sets are built to endure a rain shower, we certainly aren’t, so the option to dash inside and stay dry whilst not missing any of the entertainment is always a benefit!
