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.

Most outside TVs are very expensive, in fact they can be 4 to 10 times as expensive as a comparable sized indoor use TV. Many people try to use them interchangeably, but this is generally a very bad idea. Realistically TV's meant to be used outside are constructed very differently than those 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.

Someone may try putting regular tv's outside. While this can work for a short time, is not a solid long term solution. They are not really built to withstand abuse from being left outside. If you are planning to do something like this your best bet would be to have a mobile bench to place it back indoors when your done viewing it. Keep in mind this is only a short term answer and that eventually the set will begin to fail working.

No one can watch tv for 24 hours everyday. This is why keeping a good quality cover is so critical. Many fine covers may be found custom made for most applications. They will not only keep out different forms of moisture from the set but they will also protect them from any harmful sun rays.

Finding the right outdoor tv and custom outdoor TV covers can be a long process. The internet is one off your greatest allies for finding out as much information as you can on different products. Read as many reviews as you can and only than go out and buy those finishing touches to your perfect home.
