Why Install An Outdoor TV?
Some homeowners might be tempted to bring their indoor TV outside to enjoy their favorite entertainment under the sun. However, this will not work well and might even void your warranty! Indoor televisions are not built to deliver a bright enough picture to compete with direct or indirect sunlight. Therefore, when you try to watch a TV show outside, the image will be washed out, and glare will cover the screen. Indoor televisions are also not built to withstand harsh weather conditions. Common events like snow, rain, dust, wind, bugs, extreme temperatures, and more will likely cause your indoor TV to break down.
To enjoy entertainment outside, you need an outdoor TV installation. Outdoor TVs are bright enough to compete with the sun, leading to a crystal clear picture, and are built with IP-55 rated materials to allow them to withstand whatever mother nature throws at them.
Where Can I Install An Outdoor TV?
There are three main types of spaces where you can install an outdoor TV:
- Shaded Areas: Porches or patios are a fantastic place for an outdoor television because they give you the closest experience to indoors, making them a more affordable option. Covered spaces offer more protection from elements like rain, snow, and wind. Séura’s Shade Series 2 model calibrates ambient outdoor lighting using anti-reflective and anti-glare glass.
- Partially Shaded Areas: Some areas, like an uncovered patio, have high amounts of sunlight at certain times of the day but shade at others. As a result, they require televisions that can quickly adapt to different light levels. Séura’s models use Adaptive Picture Technology to optimize display settings as lighting conditions change automatically.
- Sunlit Areas: Spaces that incur direct sunlight, like by the pool or in your yard, can also have outdoor televisions! Investing in a display crafted to operate in a bright and sometimes hot environment is important. Séura’s Full Sun Series offers 2000 nits of brightness and is crafted with durable materials to ensure a long lifespan.
