Summertime is in full swing in Upcountry South Carolina. While our days are warm in Greenville, the balmy evenings are an even better time to be outside. But you have a dilemma.

How do you enjoy the evening and binge watch the latest season of HBO’s Westworld? Sure, you can watch it on an iPad outside. But that small screen wouldn’t do that show justice.

Fortunately, there’s a great range of models to choose from in outdoor TVs. While you could install a regular TV in a covered outdoor patio, indoor models are not built for environments with higher heat, humidity, and – since this is the South – bugs. 

You might be surprised to learn that outdoor TVs offer just about all the same capabilities as indoor models. Let’s dive in and discuss some of the most important features to look for to determine what you might need for your outdoor TV installation.

The hot summertime is the right time to enjoy your backyard patio and all the festivities the great outdoors can offer.
