Why outdoor-rated matters

Regular TVs are not built for moisture, heat and cold. Outdoor TVs are sealed and designed for weather.

Brightness and glare

Sunlight washes out a normal screen. Outdoor TVs are brighter and often have anti-glare coatings. Placement also matters: think about where the sun is in the afternoon.

Covered or uncovered

Even on a covered patio, outdoor-rated equipment is the safer choice. Uncovered installs need equipment made to stay outside all year.

Power and Wi-Fi

Plan outlets, cable paths and Wi-Fi coverage. Outdoor access points keep streaming smooth.

Sound

Weatherproof speakers make the experience complete. We install outdoor audio and tie it into your system.
