What's this?

My old next door neighbor used to sit on his screened porch...

...and get hammered while watching DEM COWBOYS! I think it was an old school CRT TV, but it seemed like he had it out there for 7-8 years. I'm not sure if tube TVs are better suited for that environment or not, but he didn't seem to have an issue with temperature/humidity.

Anyone have outdoor TV in a screened in porch? Did you go true outdoor TV? -- VTBUCKLEY 07/29/2020 3:54PM

Don't spend 1000s for an outdoor unless it is in a place rain could get it -- 98Hokie 07/29/2020 11:16PM

I do. Didn’t buy outdoor kind -- HokieHutch 07/29/2020 9:01PM

Any issue with humidity creating condensation under the cover? ** -- 133743Hokie 07/29/2020 9:42PM

Not for me. I am in sc. -- HokieHutch 07/29/2020 10:29PM

I do. We bought a cheap Samsung and put it in about 5 months ago. -- TJ Hokie 07/29/2020 5:37PM

...no... just a smaller old-school TV. It is ea$y. Just buy table/cabling. -- bourbonstreet 07/29/2020 4:58PM

My understanding is that cold temps will kill them ** -- HokieDan95 07/29/2020 4:56PM

We blanket ours never had issues in freezing conditions-regular flat screen ** -- hokiewasp 07/29/2020 10:26PM

Correct. I believe the outdoor TV’s are so much more expensive for this -- MCL3 Hokie 07/29/2020 7:51PM

My understanding is those outdoor TVs are also brighter than indoor TVs. So -- Hokie360 07/29/2020 4:44PM

Not an outdoor TV, but I do have a Samsung on my screened in porch. -- 75Hokie 07/29/2020 4:40PM

I just installed a regular TV from costco and it's worked fine -- Fatman 07/29/2020 4:33PM

I went true outdoor (Sunbrite), mainly due to the humidity in RVA as well -- riosvt 07/29/2020 4:30PM

Dumb question for the EE's...would it make sense to open up the TV cabinet -- Tuckahokie 07/29/2020 4:20PM

That would cause more issues. Those vents on the TV are to allow air to -- Hokie360 07/29/2020 4:25PM

Talking about the actual electronics...not the vents ** -- Tuckahokie 07/29/2020 4:29PM

Understand. You'd be putting a barrier between the actual electronics and -- Hokie360 07/29/2020 4:32PM

I don't, but TVs are so cheap these days I'd just consider it a consumable -- kjhokie 07/29/2020 3:59PM

Vizio from Costco kept covered. Lasted 3+years. -- J-Dub 07/29/2020 4:22PM

And upgrade your TV indoors, and put the old one outside. -- HokieSignGuy 07/29/2020 4:03PM

That is kind of the way I was leaning ** -- VTBUCKLEY 07/29/2020 4:02PM
