Outdoor TVs

Rain or shine, guests expect outdoor environments to have the same amenities as indoor lounge areas, including the ability to catch the game or the latest news. Select a TV that is rated for outdoors, which means intense brightness that can compete with the sun and weather rated components. Here are our top picks for Outdoor Commercial TVs:

• Samsung’s Terrace, available in 55-75”, allows guests to experience vivid, legendary picture quality outdoors with QLED 4K and 2,000+ nit brightness levels.
