SunBrite TV Veranda Series Outdoor TVs

Veranda Full-Shade LED/LCD 4K HDR Displays –  Product Profile

When most of us think of TVs, we usually don’t give thought to whether it needs to be an indoor or outdoor model. But the fact is if you ever decide you want to install a TV outdoors to entertain your family and guest; then any brand or model just won’t do. You will need a TV designed specifically for this purpose.

Permanently setting up and/or installing a TV that was designed for indoor use only is asking for trouble. The harsh outdoor weather elements will certainly shorten the lifespan of the TV while also creating an electrical safety hazard.

For outdoor purposes, you will need a TV that is weatherproof and able to withstand an outdoor environment that dishes out rain, humidity, dust, extreme hot and cold temperatures, and even those uninvited creepy-crawly guest (bugs/insects) that may be looking for a permanent residence inside your TV.

Choosing an outdoor TV: One brand to consider is SunBrite TV. This company has been manufacturing quality outdoor TVs since 2004, and is a leading manufacturer of outdoor televisions and specializes in outdoor models only.
