The Best Outdoor TVs For Your Backyard: From Full Sun to Shade 2025

Updated:

Want a great outdoor TV viewing experience?

With better weather on the way and the possibility of getting together with friends you haven’t seen in over a year, your backyard is the ideal candidate to become the ultimate family room. And with the addition of one of the latest outdoor TVs, your patio can be the center of your family life. The big game, movie night, binge-watching — it’s all better outdoors with the fam.

You can’t just take any flatscreen and prop it up on your garden wall, though. Outdoor TVs are designed to handle moisture, high temperatures, and dust, and still deliver picture quality that can dazzle. Recent tech developments have led to vast improvements in picture, sound, streaming, and functionality, but the fact is, you still need to pick the right unit for your lighting conditions.

Our obsessive team of backyard barbecuers has combed through crucial details such as screen brightness, HDR compatibility, IP ratings, app implementation, and mounting hardware (spoiler: You’re going to want an articulated mount, no matter what TV you buy). They’ve selected only the very best models, one of which is certain to be perfect for your space, conditions, and style. It’s a lot to absorb and a big decision, so don’t hesitate to give our team a call or chat with a product expert. We’re happy to help you make the right choice.

Samsung’s QLED panels have led to new levels of brightness,
color, and just plain wow since they were first introduced five years
ago with their indoor TV lineup. Since then, they’ve upped the performance substantially, and now with The Terrace, you can get that superb viewing experience in a weatherproof unit that is ideal for fully-shaded environments — think covered patio or screened pergola. Anti reflection technology minimizes glare from nearby lightsources and outside light. Compatible with 4K and HDR content, The Terrace can also upscale lower-resolution content to 4K using AI interpolation.

With an IP55 rating for water and dust resistance, The Terrace can hang with ambientmoisture and the traditional summer water fight. Temperature fluctuations aren’t a problem for The Terrace, either.

The Terrace separates itself from other outdoor TVs with its comprehensive smart features. This is the first outdoor TV we’ve seen that can deliver on its promise to become the headquarters for all of your household Samsung SmartThings as well as stream content from any app, source, or device. With a hardwired internet connection, The Terrace becomes a powerful Wi-Fi hotspot, as well as delivering streamed content with rock-solid reliability.

If smart features, voice control, and connectivity are central to your household’s lifestyle, then The Terrace is a great choice for your full-shade outdoor entertainment center.
