Indoor/outdoor TV installation

Summer may still be a few months away, but an indoor/outdoor TV installation might be something that you would want to consider as early as now. Yes, some of you might find it cosier to watch your favourite shows or movies inside a dark room, but many folks have come to like the idea of an outdoor home entertainment experience.

Why get an outdoor TV

Outdoor TVs are expensive, but if you’re looking to have a different TV viewing experience, installing an outdoor TV would be all worth it. It gives you and your family or guests a different setting where you can chill and bond.

Be that as it may, it would be too inconvenient to drag your LCD outdoors every time you feel like it. It’s also dangerous as you’ll need to deal with wires and cables, plugging and re-plugging. It would be too impractical if you called on an electrician every time you needed help, right?

Also, there’s a risk in using regular TVs outdoors; they don’t have the specialised features that outdoor TVs have. Before buying an outdoor TV, make sure that it’s resistant to dust, insects, rust, and corrosion. It should also be shockproof and weatherproof, and it should be made with an anti-glare screen. Additionally, its speakers should be waterproof.

No budget for an outdoor TV?

If you’re on the fence about spending on an outdoor TV, you might want to test your existing indoor model first. Perhaps you think that eventually, you might realise you enjoy watching shows and movies indoors more than you do outdoors. In this case, if you use an indoor model, you can easily replace your TV anytime without spending as much as on a brand-new outdoor telly.

However, make sure to check with your TV manufacturer if your indoor TV can withstand the temperature in your outdoor area. If your telly is sturdy enough for the climate, you can add on simple television covers to keep dust, dirt, insects, and rain from damaging your TV.
