Screen Size

Let’s start with the screen size. Similar to choosing a TV for inside your home, it’s essential to evaluate the space you have available and buy the biggest TV that will still allow for a pleasant viewing experience. If you have a large viewing area available, then go for it and select a larger TV. But, if the space on your deck or porch is limited, you should adjust your screen size selection appropriately to keep viewing comfortable.

Brightness and Contrast

There are several differences between indoor and outdoor TVs, and one of the significant differences is in the level of brightness and contrast required for an excellent visual experience outside. Consider where you will install the outdoor TV—will it be in a bright and sunny area or situated mainly in the shade? Outdoor TVs are made with higher levels of brightness and contrast because they have to battle the lighting challenges of nature, and ones engineered specifically for direct sunlight can have up to 4x brighter displays than indoor TVs. If you’re unsure which TV would be best for your situation, we’d be happy to advise on a display.

Durability and Weather Resistance

Indoor TVs were not made for outdoor use, which is essential to understand when choosing a TV for outdoor areas. Only outdoor TVs have been tested and rated to withstand the elements of nature, including extreme hot and cold temperatures, rain, snow, dirt, humidity, bugs, and wind. It can be pretty hot and cold in Missouri, so choose an outdoor-specific TV with a good range of acceptable temperatures. 

Audio

You can choose to use the outdoor TV’s built-in audio or integrate outdoor audio components like surround sound speakers from a brand like Coastal Source. There are many outdoor audio options that can enhance your outdoor entertainment's flexibility and The Sound Room can advise on the best way to amplify sound in outdoor areas and which speakers are rated for outdoor use.
