There's something special about enjoying a perfect summer evening in your backyard. As the temperatures rise, Boston sports fans look for ways to bring entertainment outdoors without missing a moment of Red Sox action or a Celtics playoff game. 

An outdoor television provides the perfect solution for New England homeowners who want to make the most of their outdoor spaces while staying connected to their favorite entertainment. Explore more about outdoor TVs below.

Why Standard TVs Don't Make the Cut Outdoors

Your regular living room TV isn't built to handle the sometimes wild variances of a New England climate. Standard televisions lack the necessary weatherproofing to withstand rain, humidity, and temperature fluctuations that are common throughout the year in Boston. Even on clear days, regular TVs struggle with screen visibility in bright sunlight, making that afternoon Patriots game nearly impossible to see. Additionally, indoor TVs aren't designed with the sealed components needed to keep out dust, insects, and moisture—problems that can quickly damage internal electronics when placed outdoors.

What Differentiates Purpose-Built Outdoor TVs

Outdoor televisions are specifically engineered to handle varying weather conditions. They feature sealed, weatherproof casings that protect against rain, snow, and humidity. High-brightness displays (often 3-4 times brighter than indoor models) ensure you can clearly see the screen even in direct sunlight on your patio or by the pool. 

Many outdoor TVs include anti-glare technology that reduces reflections that would otherwise wash out the picture. These displays are also built to operate in both summer heat and winter cold, meaning you can enjoy that Bruins game through most of the season—at least when it’s not freezing!

Placement for Outdoor Televisions

Finding the ideal spot for your outdoor TV means balancing both the viewing experience and protection. Popular locations include covered patios where overhead structures provide additional shielding from direct elements. TV models from companies like SunBrite and Samsung Terrace have specific features for locations like full-sun, partial-sun, and fully covered areas. 

Pool areas benefit from weatherproof televisions mounted at proper viewing angles and safe distances from water. Outdoor kitchens become entertainment hubs when equipped with a properly installed television. Many homeowners also create dedicated outdoor viewing areas perfect for hosting game-day gatherings that combine fresh air with the excitement of watching New England sports teams.
