Alright, let’s gab about these big outdoor TVs, ya know, the kind you stick outside. I ain’t no fancy tech person, but I know what I like, and I like watchin’ my stories big and bright, even when I’m sittin’ on the porch swing.
First off, you gotta figure out where you’re gonna put this thing. Is it gonna be in the shade all day? Or does the sun beat down on it like it’s beatin’ a rug? They got TVs for both, ya see. Full shade TVs, that’s for places where the sun don’t shine much. Then there’s them partial sun TVs, for spots that get a little bit of sun but not too much. And if your yard is like mine, where the sun’s always tryin’ to fry an egg on your head, you’ll need a full sun TV. These babies are tough, built to take a beatin’ from the sun and the weather.
Now, how big should it be? Well, that depends on how far away you’re gonna be sittin’. I heard tell that you should take the distance in inches, and then divide it by 1.5. So, if you’re gonna be sittin’ 8 feet away, that’s like 96 inches, so you need a TV around 60 to 65 inches. But honestly, I say get the biggest one you can afford, and that fits in your yard! The bigger the better, that’s what I always say. You want to see them people on the TV real good, not like ants crawlin’ on a stick.
Don’t go thinkin’ you can just drag your inside TV out there, though. Them outdoor TVs, they’re special. They’re built tough, like a good ol’ farm truck. They can handle the rain, the snow, and even the bugs tryin’ to build nests in ’em. Some of them even come with fancy features, like anti-glare screens so you can see even when the sun’s shinin’ right at it. And don’t forget about the sound. You want to hear everything loud and clear, so good speakers are important. Some even come with waterproof remotes, so you don’t have to worry about spillin’ your sweet tea on ’em.
I seen some TVs that fold up, too! Can you believe that? Like something out of one of them robot movies my grandson watches. They fold up all neat and tidy when you ain’t usin’ ’em. But let me tell ya, those things cost a pretty penny. More money than I’ve seen in my whole life, I reckon. They say one of them costs more than two of them fancy electric trucks! Who in their right mind would spend that much on a TV? But I guess if you got the money, you can do what you want.
Where to buy one? Well, I heard Best Buy sells ’em. You can go to the store and look at ’em yourself, or you can order online and have ’em bring it right to your house. But don’t just jump at the first one you see. Shop around a bit, compare prices, and make sure you’re gettin’ a good deal. And don’t be afraid to ask questions! If you don’t know somethin’, just ask. That’s what I always do. These sales folks, they’re supposed to know their stuff.
And one last thing, don’t forget about the installation. Some of these TVs are real heavy, and you don’t want to drop it and break it before you even get to watch it. You might need to hire someone to help you set it up, unless you got some strong young’uns around to do it for ya. Make sure it’s mounted real good and secure, so it don’t fall down in a storm. You don’t want that thing crashing down on your prize-winning petunias, now do ya?
So there you have it, my two cents on big outdoor TVs. Just remember, get one that’s tough enough for the weather, big enough to see from your favorite chair, and priced right for your wallet. And don’t forget to invite your neighbors over for a good old fashioned movie night under the stars. There’s nothing better than sharing a good story with folks you care about.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go find my glasses, my show’s about to start!
