Buying Tips For Outdoor Tvs And 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.

Buying an outside TV can be quite costly, in fact it could be up to 10 times more expensive than an equal sized inside TV. Many people will try to use these interchangeably, but it often a poor idea. Realistically TV's constructed to use outside are made differently than those constructed to use inside.

The main issue that outside televisions need to defeat is not necessarily keeping the snow and rain out, instead it is the narrow temperature range they work at. A cover will help protect them nicely from different elements and harmful rays from the sun. The primary problem is maintaining them within this small operating temperature. The best way to achieve this is keeping the heat out.

When the temperature starts to vacillate up and down ugly things begin to happen to electronic parts. As temperatures fall down condensation forms and this moisture will often short critical internal parts. Frigid temperatures also impact how long and well most LCD's will remain operational. High temperatures will also harm the glass or LCD screens inside 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.

Some times people try to use regular tv's outside. This is possible, but is not a long term answer. They are not built to take the constant abuse from being outside. If you plan to do this your best option would be to use a movable bench to move it indoors when you are finished with it. Remember this is only a short term solution and eventually the chances are your set will fail to keep 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 correct custom outdoor TV covers and outdoor tv could be a difficult process. The web is a great ally discovering information on various products. Research as much as you can before spending your money buying your finishing touches to a perfect home.
