ekohn00 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I'm looking for a 64" 4K for our pool house. However, the outdoor TV's are out of our price range. I was thinking of the 55" Terrace, but then I realized we're used to the 65" screen size. I am not concerned about the TV being outdoors. I've had 2 TVs over the last 15 years - the weather is not an issue. One TV is the Samsung - 65” Class QN90B. Anyone have one and can comment on sunlight and reflection? I figured there were others who could recommend TVs that are in bright areas and can also handle reflection. thanks. PS..... yes I know the outdoor TVs are the best bet.

Elvis Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I went with TCL Roku/Airplay 2 TVs from Wally World for outdoor use. I figured if it wasn't bright enough, I'd just return it. They're in the shade and bright enough for us. I do keep the one on the boathouse covered since it gets hit with blowing rain sometimes. Neither are integrated with C4.

chopedogg88 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 You could integrate those with control4 over IP very easily if you wanted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hisense U8H and TCL 6 series mini LEDs have 1000+ nit peak brightness. I have a TCL 75” R646 as my main viewing TV in a heavy lit room and it does fantastic. I also has OLED quality at night for just over $1k… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booch Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Full disclosure, I'm a huge OLED fan, but I also think they're awesome for outdoor. Beyond peak brightness, the 'off angle' viewing OLEDs offer is particularly useful with outdoor glare, which is 'percieved brightness'.

Cyknight Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I'm sure some will call me nutz here - but consider the current Frame series TVs - their matte finish will help limit glare, lessening the need for a super bright screen considerably. Brightness shouldn't be your biggest concern in a bright room - reflection should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little research shows the OLED picture is better, but QLED will still be brighter in bright rooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
