Why You Need an Outdoor TV for Your Backyard Setup

Backyards have come a long way from being just open space behind the house. For many homeowners, they’ve become an extension of the living room, a space for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying time with friends and family. And while comfy seating and a grill can be great, there’s one upgrade that can tie it all together: an outdoor TV.

But simply dragging your living room TV outside for the weekend won’t cut it. Outdoor TVs are purpose-built to thrive in unpredictable conditions, deliver a clear picture in full sun, and bring your favorite shows, sports, and movies to the place you actually want to be.

Let’s dive into today’s blog to explore a few reasons why these TVs can be a game-changer for your outdoor lifestyle in Portland, OR.

Built to Survive the Backyard

An outdoor TV isn’t just a weatherproof shell. Every component is designed with the elements in mind. These displays are sealed against dust and bugs, protected from moisture and humidity, and able to operate in a wide range of temperatures. Some even include internal climate controls to stay functional during summer heat waves or below-freezing temperatures. 

Indoor TVs might survive in your outdoor areas for a little while, until the first rainstorm, or when the screen washes out under the afternoon sun. Outdoor TVs avoid those issues entirely because they’re designed to be out there year-round.

Bright Enough for Daylight, Clear Enough for Game Night

If you’ve ever tried to watch a screen outside and caught more glare than content, you already know why standard TVs fall short. Outdoor TVs are made with high-brightness panels and anti-glare coatings to stay visible even when the sun is shining bright. Models made for full-sun areas (like near pools or open patios) go even further, ensuring you don’t have to wait for sundown to start the show.

Pair that with a weather-rated soundbar or distributed audio system, and you’ve got a setup that holds up, even with kids playing, burgers sizzling, and background noise in full swing.

Watch Without Missing a Moment

Whether you’re checking in on the big game while grilling or cueing up a movie for a backyard sleepover, having a TV outside just makes sense. For a fully connected and convenient experience, we can help you integrate your outdoor TV into your home’s AV system. That means you can control it using your favorite smart home platform or remote. No need for extra apps or complicated remotes.

Want to fire up the TV, dim the patio lights, and switch to your go-to streaming service? You can do that with a single press or voice command. Say goodbye to running back inside to hunt for the remote!

A Practical Investment That’s Actually Fun

Some tech upgrades, while necessary, are all function and no fun. An outdoor TV isn’t one of them. It creates new reasons to spend time outside, adds variety to how you enjoy entertainment, and becomes a social hub for your backyard.
