Do I need an outdoor TV?
Probably not. The list of people who really need an outdoor rated TV is quite small. If you want to have a TV next to your pool or grill, spend $10,000 on an outdoor TV. If you want to put a TV on your garage or patio and never cover it, spend $10,000 on an outdoor TV. If you’re a business owner with an outdoor bar that gets sunshine, maybe spend $10,000 on an outdoor TV.
Are outdoor TVs waterproof?

Some outdoor TVs (like the 5 we recommended) are more water resistant than the standard TV, but it still doesn’t mean you should let it fall into the pool.
What accessory do I most need for my outdoor TV?
The smart thing to do is get a TV cover. A TV cover will keep your TV safe on those nasty rainy and snowy days when you’re not going to use an outdoor TV anyway. Then, so long as the TV is not in 100+ degree weather or direct sunlight for over an hour, you’ll be fine.
