Why Should You Invest in a Dedicated Outdoor TV This Summer?

If you’re preparing your outdoor living spaces for the warmer weather, don’t forget the entertainment! Music, movies, and sports liven any activity in the backyard, whether you’re relaxing alone or hosting a big get-together.

It may seem simple enough to move your living room TV and soundbar to the patio for an upcoming event outside. However, bringing indoor electronics to the outdoors is a surefire way to ruin your expensive gear. Keep them indoors and invest in dedicated outdoor TVs and speakers instead.

In this blog, we’re focusing specifically on the advantages of investing in an outdoor TV for year-round outdoor entertainment in Brentwood, CA. Read more below!

Outdoor TVs Withstand Heat

Summers in Brentwood and the Manhattan Beach area are warm, reaching around 85°F as the average high. But sometimes temperatures can reach (and feel) much higher than that. Because standard LED TVs have an average operating temperature of up to 90°F, which doesn’t include the heat effects of direct sunlight, they wouldn’t last long when installed outdoors.

In contrast, dedicated outdoor TVs are built with extreme temperature protection in mind. The Terrace TV by Samsung has a max operating temperature of 122°F, while the Séura Ultra Bright TV can operate under a high of 140°F! On the other side of the spectrum, both TVs perform at below-freezing temperatures reaching -22°F and -40°F respectively.

Outdoor TVs Withstand Water and Debris

Water, debris, and bug exposure are inevitable conditions of the outdoors. Video displays made for the indoors aren’t designed to handle even brief exposure to water, and bugs that camp within ventilation covers can damage the electronics.

Outdoor TVs are given Ingress Protection (IP) ratings to ensure they can safely operate under such conditions. For example, The Terrace TV by Samsung is rated IP55, which indicates protection against potentially harmful dust and debris and low-pressure water. Most outdoor TVs sport ratings such as IP54, IP55, and IP56, all of which are more than sufficient for long-lasting performance outdoors.

Outdoor TVs Promise Minimal Glare

You can’t always control sun glare when enjoying your backyard spaces, especially in uncovered areas. The outdoor TVs we offer are designed with anti-reflection technology to minimize glare and offer more visibility even at the brightest part of the day.

Because natural light exposure changes from morning to night, the outdoor TVs we offer also feature adaptive picture technology that continually adjusts your picture settings based on surrounding light conditions. Whether it’s sunset or a bright afternoon day, experience brilliant viewing around the clock.

Outdoor TVs Stay Bright in Extreme Sun

Speaking of bright afternoon days, sunlight can quickly wash out the picture of standard LED TVs because of their lower brightness levels. While many indoor TVs today typically operate at about 100 to 300 nits of brightness, dedicated outdoor TVs range from 700 to a whopping 2,000 nits of brightness to display beautifully sharp and vivid picture even in direct sunlight.
