1. Outdoor TVs Are Weatherproof

Rain, sleet, snow, hail, storms, scorching sun, you name it – outdoor TVs are built to endure it all, something that your average inside TV just cannot.


Protective gaskets, temperature sensors, and fan airflow systems are all built into outdoor TVs to assist protect them from the weather.

2. Different Outdoor TVs for Different Weather

Outdoor TVs not only endure Mother Nature's wrath but can also be purchased for a variety of unique weather conditions, depending on where you plan to place them.


You can get an outdoor TV perfect for an area with full shade.


However, if you want one that will be exposed to some sunlight — or perhaps full sunlight — you can get TVs that will work flawlessly in that area as well.

4. Outdoor TVs Need a Great Audio System

Outdoor TVs do not have built-in speakers, as indoor televisions do.


This may appear to be a disadvantage at first, but it also presents you with an opportunity: you may get a good outdoor soundbar or surround sound system.


Built-in TV speakers are seldom very good, and because you'll be outside with a lot more ambient noise, you'll want something that can handle a lot of power.


Including an outside speaker set or connecting your outdoor TV to your existing outdoor audio system is absolutely the way to go, especially when vehicles are passing by and the neighborhood kids are running around.

5. How Do Outdoor TVs Work?

Of course, placing a TV outside requires consideration of several things that an indoor TV might not.


Outside, there are many more bugs, snakes, spiders, and other pests than indoors, so any outdoor TV must be prepared to endure these issues.


But don't worry: outdoor TVs can be equipped with a watertight cable entry system, ensuring that insects won't decide that your brand-new TV would make a nice second home.


You'll be able to rest easy knowing that your outdoor TV set is ideal for entertaining while avoiding any negative consequences of its placement.
