Best Outdoor TVs for 2023
What to Look for in an Outdoor Television
Picture this: the sun’s beaming, the water’s fine, and your showstopper grub is a hit. Your phone buzzes one last time — your whole fantasy league is riding on this game, and it’s on in 15. That’s a sharp deadline to finish that last round of burgers, check on other guests, dry off, and huddle down with fresh beers and jerseys in the den. Do you really want to pry your party from the poolside?
Outdoor TVs have a simple response: don’t! Unlike regular indoor televisions, the best outdoor TVs have brighter screens and can easily handle high humidity, extreme temperatures, and saline environments without breaking a sweat. Many can cast your favorite music playlists, vacation highlights, YouTube clips, and more. Ready to get started? You’re in the right place: our experts have already curated the very best outdoor TVs based on their quality, performance, and features.
-
Quality - For starters, full exposure resistance is a must for any quality outdoor TV. Our experts look for durable builds built to sizes over 60 inches, full sun or partial shade visibility, and serious weatherization. Specialized hydrophobic treatment is a fast track onto this list.
-
Performance - When you're enjoying the action outside, what use is grainy picture? Our experts look for HDR capability on 4K Ultra HD screens -- the sharpest picture on the market today.
-
Features - How'd you like your TV to handle the heavy lifting for you? While not a deal-breaker, we do prioritize smart TV features that help you pull up your favorite streaming apps without figuring out how to work in (and protect) a separate digital receiver box.
Best Full Exposure Outdoor TV
These top-rated outdoor TVs have it all: durable weatherproofing inside and out, along with screens calibrated for crystal-clear viewing in even the harshest sunlight. Full-exposure outdoor TVs don’t require any shade or covering, meaning you can place them virtually anywhere in your outdoor space. Just don’t go sticking them at the bottom of the pool, OK?

Best Under Cover/Shaded Outdoor TV
When we say “under cover,” we’re just referring to shade requirements. Some of the top-rated outdoor TVs listed here are fully weatherproofed, but their displays aren’t quite bright enough to make images visible in full sunlight. Each model below will feature a note about its degree of weatherproofing, so look for one with enough protection to thrive in your outdoor space.

Best Partial Sun Outdoor TV
The Partial Sun category is the perfect middle ground. Your space may only have the possibility of sun during the early mornings, or you may only watch your outdoor TV at night. It helps to understand what partial sun means. We are expecting approx. 1 hour or less of direct sunlight and a TV with sufficient display brightness to work during this time.
