Choosing the Right Outdoor TV

Outdoor living spaces are becoming an essential part of the home, and adding an outdoor TV is a great way to bring high-quality entertainment to your patio, pool, or backyard. But not all outdoor TVs are created equal! Choosing the right one ensures durability, top-notch performance, and the best viewing experience—no matter the environment.

Weatherproof vs. Weather-Resistant: What’s the Difference?

Not all outdoor TVs can handle the elements the same way. Here’s what you need to know before making a purchase:

Weather-resistant TVs (like the Samsung Terrace) can withstand dust and light water exposure but are best for covered areas. If left outdoors in extreme weather, additional protection is recommended—especially in winter.

Weatherproof TVs (like SunBrite) are built to handle rain, snow, extreme temperatures, and even insects, making them the best choice for fully exposed outdoor areas.

Extra Protection for Weather-Resistant TVs

If you're considering a Samsung Terrace TV, third-party companies now offer custom-fitted weatherproof covers that provide extra protection. These are different from standard dust covers and help prolong your TV’s lifespan.

Samsung vs. SunBrite: Soundbar Compatibility

Your outdoor TV experience isn’t complete without great sound!

Samsung Terrace TVs work with any outdoor soundbar, giving you more flexibility in your setup.

SunBrite TVs are designed to connect only with a SunBrite Soundbar, limiting your options.

Choosing the Right TV Based on Sun Exposure

Different TVs are designed for different lighting conditions. Here’s how to choose:

• Full Shade Areas (Covered Patios, Sunrooms) – SunBrite Veranda Series

• Partial Sun / High Ambient Light (Pergolas, Partially Covered Decks) – SunBrite Signature Series / Samsung Partial Sun

• Full Sun Areas (Poolside, Open Seating Areas) – SunBrite Pro Series / Samsung Full Sun
