Outdoor TV Recommendations

I agree with others just get a normal tv. I first started with a 42 inch cheap tv for the first year. Now have upgraded to a 55 cheap tv

from Costco. I've have zero problems except the bottom plastic has warped a bit from the fireplace. I bring the tv in once the temp is consistently under freezing. Here a pic of my 42

I would get a hisense. They are extremely cheap and to be honest look OK. The biggest bonuses if something goes wrong they are so cheap you won't care. Just build some type of umbrella unit above the TV

I did an indoor 42" Vizio Smart TV with two mounts one in the basement for winter one for outside in the summer. Have not had one issue with the TV. At just under $200 it could die every other year and still be worth it to me. Cheapest outdoor rated TV I saw was $1700 and no where near 42".

People could buy crap stuff and just replace it all the time, but some invest in something quality that works better and lasts. Outdoor displays are no different.

Just my opinion but it seems crazy to invest a ton of money on an outdoor lifestyle setup and cheap out on the last min and put up a $250 junk display. Things should be proportional.
