Hints For Buying Outdoor Tvs With Custom Outdoor TV Covers

By Dawn Williams


A new rage among home owners trying to add useful accessories to their homes is installing outdoor tvs in their yards with custom outdoor TV covers to keep them safe from the elements. It is important to understand all the differences between inside use televisions and outside use televisions. It is also important to understand why a cover will not only protect but is necessary to use for longevity. Read on because some of the answers may be surprising.

Outside TVs are generally very expensive, in truth they may be 4-10 times as much as the comparable sized indoor TV. Some people try using them interchangeably, though this is typically a bad thing to do. Realistically TVs built for outside use are constructed quite differently than those which are mean to be used inside.

The largest issue most outside use televisions must overcome is not always keeping out rain or snow, rather it often is keeping it at the correct working temperature. A well built cover will protect it from natural elements and the sun's harmful rays. The main issue will be keeping it operating at this small temperature range. The simplest way of doing this is by keeping the heat out.

When this temperature starts to fluctuate up and down bad things start to happen to electronics. As the temperatures fall condensation often forms and this moisture can often short out important parts. Cold temperatures also affect how long and how well LCD's will operate. High temperatures can also damage the glass and LCD screens on most tv's.

An outside tv has a larger range of temperatures that it will still work. Most generally have more fans in them to assist with keeping them cooled down so they are not over heating and not working. Another useful feature is they often have some type of heating system installed. This greatly reduces any condensation from building as they cool off and heat up. These useful heating systems maintain stable working temperatures even in the coldest weather.

Sometimes people will try using a regular tv outside. This may be possible, but is never a long term answer. Generally they are not constructed to take the ongoing abuse from outside usage. If you do plan on trying this, your best available option would be trying a movable cart to put it back inside when you are finished. Realistically this is a short term solution at best and chances are the set will ultimately fail to remain working.

No one watches tv 24 hours a day. This is why having a quality cover is so important. Many covers can be ordered custom made for your application. They not only keep out the different types of moisture from your set but they also protect them from harmful uv rays from the sun.

Finding the best outside tv with different custom outdoor TV covers may be a long term process. The internet is always one off your best allies for finding as much out about these products as you can. Read as many online reviews as you can find before you buy those new finishing touches for your home.
