If you have already decided upon buying a new waterproof TV for outdoor installations that is no doubt an excellent addition. It will not only make spending and relaxing at home a lot more entertaining affair but will also add value and elegant class to your property. But at the same time you need to keep in mind the harsh weather elements like – sun, rain, dirt and humidity. These elements can really take a toll on your TV, especially if it not specifically made for the conditions.
As a matter of fact, you are required to keep the weather elements in mind but you should never get sacred of them and change your decision. All you need to do is to make sure that you buy a TV that is actually made for outdoor installation and you are also using proper Outdoor TV Cover to provide your expensive TV set with additional safety.
Apart from using covers those can effectively protect your TV from sun, rain, dirt and moisture and can also do a few more things to ensure that the machine will run flawlessly for years.
Choose the right location first
Choosing the right location for your TV can easily provide it with a few extra years of life. You should prefer to mount it in areas protected from direct exposure to sunlight and rainstorms. Heat resulted from direct exposure to sunlight reduces life span of the product and also makes the screen deterioration much quicker. You need to realize that both extreme heat and extreme cold is bad for the health of electronic devices and you need to save them from such exposures as much as possible.
Outdoor mounts and cables
If your TV is specially designed for the outdoors, the same should be with mounts and cables too. Always buy mounts and cables those can survive the external conditions. You may choose to place the associated accessories indoor or outdoor depending upon the count of mount you have.
TV cover
With the right Waterproof TV cover you can still add an additional level of extra protection for your TV. Three common types of TV covers available in the market are
- Full TV covers
- Half TV covers
- Flip-top covers
Depending upon the kind of mount you have, the type of your TV and how much protection you actually want for the machine – you can choose from any of the three above mentioned options.
If your TV is easily accessible on its mount, full covers are perhaps the best option for they protect the front as well back of it. If you are forced to mount your TV in such a place that is not the easiest to reach, half covers or flip-tops are better options and the flip-tops are preferred by many for its probably the simplest to use. All these different types of covers are made with strong heat proof water resistant materials for keeping out heat, rain and dirt and also come with soft inner lining for protecting the screen from scratches along with separate easily accessible pockets for the remote. Choose whatever you want as per your requirements and the TV cover will be protecting your system for years.
