Why Do I Need an Outdoor TV Installed on My Patio?
Learn Why Traditional TVs Won’t Last Outside in the Louisiana Weather
With the weather getting nicer, you may be wondering why you can’t just place one of your extra TVs out on the back patio while entertaining guests. We highly recommend against this! A traditional indoor TV isn’t designed to handle extreme temperature fluctuations, nor is it bright enough to be seen in your sunny Slidell, LA, backyard. Indoor TVs simply aren’t built for outside use.
Instead, consider a specially designed outdoor television. An outdoor TV installation from the AV team at Campo Better Living will withstand the test of time and whatever Mother Nature wants to toss at it!

Weather Is No Match
Hot, humid, rainy…these are all descriptors of our weather in the bayou, so you’ll want to install outdoor solutions that are designed to last throughout these wild climate variations. The outer enclosures of outdoor TVs are crafted to survive hot, cold, wet, and muggy weather, plus they’re designed to prevent bugs and debris from finding their way through to the delicate interior electronics.
Shines So Bright
Brightness is another feature that dramatically sets outdoor TVs apart from their indoor counterparts. Traditional TVs have a brightness of around 250 to 350 nits, whereas outdoor TVs range from 700 to 2500 nits. The sun exposure spectrum ranges from full-sun to partial-shade to full-shade. So, if you’d like to install your TV by the pool, a full-sun option would likely be best; for under the covered patio, a full-shade TV would be a better fit. No matter which entertainment activity you decide to enjoy with your family and friends, you’ll see a stunningly clear image!
With an outdoor TV, you’ll be able to watch the New Orleans Saints play in the fall or catch a summertime movie with the kids. And you can take your outdoor entertainment to a new level of convenience by incorporating it into your new or existing Control4 automation system. One swipe of a finger or button press will change the channel, adjust the volume, or switch between media sources in an instant!
