Why Can’t I Use A Regular TV Outside?

Read This Before Putting Your Indoor TV on the Patio 

It’s outdoor entertainment season, and in the warmer weather, people come to us for outdoor TV installations in the Hypoluxo, FL, area. Yet we still frequently hear this question: “Can’t I just get a covering for a regular TV and keep it outside?” 

Many people are tempted to use an indoor TV outside and keep it “safe” under a patio roof, cabinet, or covering. But doing this could damage your display or even cause electrical fires. At best, a regular TV will look dark and dim outside. 

Regular TVs are meant to stay inside, but outdoor TVs are always safe in your backyard. Here’s how it works. 

Black Rectangle Ruining Your Interior Design? Try a Hidden TV

Mirror TVs, Artwork TVs, and Motorized Lifts Disguise Screens in Your Home

It can be tricky to find a good spot for a TV. You might want to install a television in the bedroom, but the ideal angle would obstruct the view outside, blocking the windows. Or perhaps you have an impeccably decorated living room that would lose its charm with a large, black rectangle at the center of the wall.

If you can’t find a location to mount a television, you have other options. Hidden TVs by manufacturers like Samsung and Séura disguise the display as a work of art or real mirror when turned off. And TV lifts hide the display within walls, floors, and ceilings. How does it work? Learn more for your Fort Lauderdale, FL, home below!
