What Is an Outdoor TV?

Using an indoor TV outdoors might seem like a quick solution, but it's far from ideal. Indoor TVs are not designed to handle the outdoor elements. Exposure to moisture, dust, and extreme temperatures can quickly damage an indoor TV, rendering it useless. On the other hand, outdoor TVs are specifically engineered to endure rain, cold, heat, and even snow, providing reliable performance year-round.

Types of Outdoor TVs

The next reason you need an outdoor TV is that it is designed for variable light conditions. Most feature higher brightness than indoor models and special screen coatings to minimize glare. Outdoor TVs also fall into two camps: those designed for full or partial shade and those designed for full sun exposure. Let’s look at a couple of options for each below.

TVs for Shade

TVs for shaded areas will be right for areas like covered patios, gazebos, pergolas, and full or partially-covered outdoor kitchens. Current models will feature 4K resolutions and HDR processing like most modern TVs, but with rugged construction to withstand heat, water, insects, and outdoor extremes. For example, Séura Shade Series TVs are designed for temperatures from -24°F to 140°F, perfect for Park City's extremes. Samsung's Terrace models feature the company's QLED technology, which is known for its brightness and rich color rendering. Both Seura and Samsung TVs for shaded areas sport an IP55 or above rating to withstand rain, snow, ice, and dust for years of outdoor viewing pleasure. 

TVs for Sun

Want to bask in the sun with your favorite games and shows? Full-sun TVs from Samsung and Séura make it possible. The difference between full-sun models and shade primarily involves brightness, screen treatments, and construction. Full-sun models need to be even brighter to be seen in the bright sun. Screen treatments are also different to limit glare, and the construction and cooling need to be robust to withstand the additional heat of operating directly under a hot sun. 

Both Samsung and Séura offer specific models for installation in full sun exposure. For example, Séura models feature high 2000-nit brightness for visibility and active heating and cooling to endure the temperature extremes, whether watching in summer or winter. Samsung’s Terrace offers expert processing to enhance colors and black levels, and the QLED technology’s high brightness and special anti-glare coatings contribute to a vivid picture in full sun. Samsung also adds smart TV and casting capabilities for a TV that offers all the same features as an indoor one. 

Whether you want a TV on your patio, by your pool or spa, or in a private garden area, there's a model that brings all your favorite video entertainment to enjoy al fresco.
