Advice on TV protection

[Dannyguys]

Hi Guys!

Mm...my new house is almost ready, I am planning to place a TV in my backyard and mount it on the wall under the eave so that it won't get directly wet in the rain. But if big rains, it will get wet. I was wondering if any of you have recommendations as far as how to weatherproof it. I just want to use my flat LCD screen that I currently have. And don't wanna spend too much money. I have read up on enclosures from some suppliers Armagard, Deertv etc. , I was wondering if you have any ideas or suggestions. That will be much appreciated. Thanks.

It would probably be best ot get an outdoor / all weather TV than to use a TV made for indoor use - i know this doesnt asnwer your question but this will be less of a pain in the long run and will work when you need it to.

My experience is that it will be absolutely fine as long as it doesn't get directly poured on by driving rain, or power washed. If you are concerned about it have a waterproof slip cover sewed up for when not in use.

Thank you. The outdoor TV is too expensive. My recent TV has been in use for more than three years, even if it has problem, I don't think lose too much.

Thank you. A waterproof slip cover is a good option. I'll think about it.
