Best Outdoor TVs Buying Guide Terrace vs Sunbrite vs Seura | Weatherproof TVs

Choosing the best TV for your outdoor area is not as easy as you might think — there are many factors to consider. How exposed to the elements will the TV be? How much direct sunlight falls on the TV screen? Could you get by with a regular TV designed to be used indoors? How will you hear the TV? In this video, we answer all those questions and more to help you make the best choice on what outdoor TV will fit your needs.

Even the companies who only make outdoor TVs have different types of models depending on the environment they will be placed into. Watch our overview to explore various TV options for your covered patio, screened-in porch, or other outdoor entertainment areas. In this video, we'll dive into the Samsung Terrace, Sunbrite Verdana Series, Sunbrite Signature 2, Seura Ultra Bright, Seura Shade Series, outdoor soundbars, and more.

Nice video ❤❤❤. Love the ideas.

I ended up with ZeboZAP that requires NO drilling to mount my 43 inch tv. It straps on tight on the post and can do a 360 swivel. very happy with myself for doing this myself 😂 Enjoying the tv so much inside the gazebo.

Love the breakdown here - was thinking about using an indoor tv on my screened in porch, but you may have convinced me to invest!

I just had the new 55" Furrion Full Sun Smart TV installed. I give it 5 stars! !! The picture is clear and pretty bright, especially considering that I only paid $2699 !! I placed it on a shed wall next to my pool on swivel mount made by Furrion. (Swivel mount is a must!!). The picture in full sun is bright and clear. I have a 12 ft Treasure Island Sunbrella umbrella with a wheeled base which is easily maneuvered to shade the TV but I was pleasantly surprised to see that I didnt need it at all! . The built in WIFi extender works great, and it comes with 2 remotes. Very nice build quality! Even the installers were impressed. They said that this set competes with sets costing over 8k! Furrion really stepped up their game! The Furrio soundbar was easy to install and works well. The 4K HDR screen is crisp and clear. Of course my living room OLED Sony has a better color range but for an affordable outdoor TV, Furrion is excellent. It costs 1/4 the price of a Samsung outdoor TV but it's not 1/4 the quality!! It holds its own and is a tremendous value! There is NO need to spend double to quadruple the price. This TV is a game changer!

Can any of these run on DC power or battery power?
Also, need to know the screen sizes and resolutions supported.
Watch to use it as a large portable FPV monitor.. i.e. fying quadcopter outside 1080p/720p at 50fps with HDMI in on DC voltage 12v-17v.

Size should be around 30" so these are kind of too big. It doesn't have to be weatherproof, but a ruggetized build for moving about often would be helpful. Think more for camping, than for sitting on a porch.

The Samsung Terrace has a full sun model, how does that compare with the Sunbrite pro?

What about a monitor / tv in a store window facing the street. What would you recommend? Is a normal tv possible?

[DimiArhontidis]

Can the Samsung Terrace handle the Texas heat when under a cover?

I have a spot for a TV outside and was just looking into getting one, I’m a bit confused on the whole being fully in the sun or partially. The location is fully covered from the the top (it’s below a second floor balcony) and would only have direct sunlight on it during the evening. Does that mean I would need the full sun tv?

[MK-vrpt]

Only thing that Sunbright soundbars are passive and you need amplifier for it which makes no sense due to “ No outdoor amps “

[JAthletics]

What's the recommendation if we have an enclosed box with a TV lift? Essentially the TV comes out of our deck floor and is enclosed in a wood box. We installed some ventilation in the box to allow air flow when it's closed but some moisture still gets in the box when it's really humid. This moisture is our biggest concern as it will be in the box most of the time.

Hi there… Need help figure out if oled gets damaged by direct sunlight shining on it through the ceiling windows! Happens to my existing TV around 3-5 pm in summer. I usually don’t watch tv at that time. However, read it somewhere that the oled panel deteriorates with direct sun light( as in passing thru a window glass panel). Any advice? Thanks

what about the Cosmos outdoor TV? its much cheaper

[brianbachman]

None of these TVs are truly built for outdoors.
None of them are bright enough to be seen in direct sunlight. (there is a reason there are no videos of the TVs in direct sunlight). All of them will be destroyed by the sun, weather, elements in no time. I am not trying to be negative here, just stating the facts. If you want a TV on your patio that is covered from elements and sun - these will work. (Although you will have occasional glare) And if that is the case (your tv is protected from sun and weather), then in most cases you can install a typical TV.
