The Facts About Installing Outdoor TVs
Advantages of a Backyard Entertainment Venue
Science tells us that being outside is great for reducing stress and boosting our immune system, but not all of us can make it to a park or hit the trails on a regular basis, and under the hot San Antonio sun, who would want to?
Thankfully, cooler temperatures are just around the corner here in Texas, and if you’re tired of having to watch your favorite movies and shows indoors, then installing your own backyard entertainment venue might be just the thing.
The audiovisual experts at Captive Audio can help you design the perfect outdoor TV venue whether you want to relax on your own, with the family, or have a few friends over for an open-air movie screening.

Choosing the Right Outdoor TVs
Simply put, you can’t just use the same kind of TVs you have inside for your outdoor entertainment setup.
New video screens have been produced specifically for watching TV outdoors during the day and at night. You’ll want to have the kind of TV that deflects glare from unwanted light sources and displays a full spectrum of rich colors.
We recommend Séura TVs, which incorporate technology that is specifically designed for outdoor weather, changing temperatures, and varying degrees of sunlight.
Their high-def 4K models are fully weatherproof and ultrabright, having “adaptive picture technology” that continuously changes the contrast of the picture, so images remain sharp through the harshest glare.
Séura screens are also fully insulated able to keep out any rain or dirt from affecting their interior workings and can continue to operate in temperatures as cold as -40F or as high as 140F.
Know the Right Location for Your Outdoor TVs
When designing your outdoor TV installation, its best to consult with an expert on where your TVs should be placed and how. Again, what works for TVs inside the home won’t work for TVs outside, especially when it comes to mounting your device.
Mounts have to be outdoor rated so they won’t rust or break easily under harsh weather conditions. Our installation professionals will help you choose the right location for your TVs and the kind of mounting that will meet your needs.
You may want to mount a TV at a high angle on a beam overlooking your patio. So typically a mount that tilts up and down might be appropriate, but if you’re looking for something so that a larger crowd might be watching, you will probably want to consider a different location for your TV as well as a full-motion mount.
Even though you might want the largest outdoor TV available, believe it or not, that’s not always the ideal size for your home. Our installers can help determine what size TV is right for the specific dimensions of your outdoor wall space.
