Outdoor TVs Buyers Guide & Comparison

Samsung Full Sun

Sometimes an outdoor TV is the final piece to complete a beautiful back yard. But not just any TV will do if you want it to last and more importantly, be viewable during the day when the sun is at its strongest. These TVs are also built to stand up to both the heat and humidity of summer and the cold and snow of winter for a great experience all year round. While there are several brands of outdoor TVs to choose from, we will be focusing on 55 inch Seura and Samsung Outdoor TVs to provide a direct comparison between the different types.

Why are there different Types?

These types are primarily based on one factor, how strong the sun will be shining on them. Anyone who has tried watching a standard tv in the sun knows that it can be very difficult to see the picture on the screen. This is why outdoor TVs are made to be up to 8x brighter than a conventional tv in order to provide viewability. See  why you need an outdoor TV here. Below are the different tiers to help you determine which Outdoor TV is right for you.
