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!

Sony Offers a Wide Selection of TV Displays Suited to Your Entertainment Needs

At Campo Better Living, we work with trusted brand partners with long histories of customer satisfaction and quality. When selecting TV displays for our clients’ homes in Slidell or elsewhere, we consider Sony for its reputable history full of innovation and performance.
