Making Outdoor Entertainment Awesome: Tips for Your TVs and Speakers
Unleash the Fun with Outdoor Movie Nights and Music
Turning your backyard into a fun entertainment spot is a fantastic project, but it can come with a few bumps in the road. Weather can be unpredictable, and making sure outdoor TVs and audio perform well can be tricky. A cozy movie night can quickly tumble into chaos when rain damages your equipment or the picture lags. But with the right information and gear, your backyard can be transformed into the ultimate hangout.
Let's dive into why some outdoor TVs and speakers might not shine as brightly during extreme weather, how to keep the audio and visuals in sync, and how to pick the perfect TV to complement your space.

Why Outdoor TVs and Speakers Have Off Days in Storms or Extreme Heat
Not all outdoor TVs and speakers are created equal. Humidity, heavy rain, and wild temperature swings can all disrupt performance. Cold temperatures can freeze the insides of your equipment, sometimes shattering TV screens. Similarly, high temperatures can overheat your TV and speakers, leading to lags in performance and equipment damage. And let’s not forget about condensation! As temperatures fluctuate, moisture can collect inside the devices, potentially short-circuiting and ruining your system.
This is why it’s important to invest in solid, weatherproof models, such as Bowers & Wilkins’ outdoor speakers, SunBrite TVs, and Stealth Acoustics’ Patio Theater. These solutions are built to handle the outdoors, operating from below-freezing temperatures to above 120 Fahrenheit. Their enclosures are moisture-resistant, surviving both rain and humidity. Additionally, brands like SunBrite provide different models for full shade, partial shade, and full sun, allowing you to choose the best outdoor area to install your TV—while still enjoying peak performance.
Tackling Audio-Video Lag Under the Open Sky
Nothing kills the mood faster than audio-video lag, especially during nail-biting sports games or epic movie marathons. This issue usually comes up when trying to send high-definition video signals over long distances. Physical barriers—like trees or walls—can create headaches, too.
A great way to tackle lag is to incorporate wireless access points into your outdoor audio system, rather than relying just on the signal from indoors. These distributed access points extend Wi-Fi coverage, bolstering performance throughout your outdoor entertainment space. At World of Sound & Vision, we provide weatherproof devices to power every outdoor speaker and TV across your landscape.
Picking the Perfect Outdoor TV for Your Space
Choosing the right outdoor video can make your backyard pop… or flop. When considering models, keep these key points in mind:
Brightness: A brighter TV means you can actually see what’s playing even on the sunniest days. Think about where you plan to install your outdoor theater, since this will determine which model you choose.
Durability: Choose models with weatherproof casings and anti-glare screens that hold up against the elements.
Size and Fit: Find a size that fits your outdoor vibe without overwhelming the space. Stealth Acoustics’ Patio Theaters feature a model with a vertical lift, allowing you to hide the TV when not in use. Consider whether you want your screen to be a fixture in your outdoor decor or to vanish until needed.
Bringing Your Outdoor Audio to Life
Don’t forget about sound! A great outdoor TV deserves equally amazing audio. High-quality outdoor audio systems, like those from World of Sound & Vision, offer a rich sound that bites back against wind and outdoor noise. With evenly installed speakers, you enjoy immersive systems that blanket the space in sound. Imagine this: a distributed audio system that lets you play different playlists for separate zones in the yard. Whether you're chilling at a barbecue or hosting a cozy movie night, you'll have complete control of the soundtrack for your gathering.
