yeah I've cycled through a couple of cheap TV's for mine. Its under the roof and stays uncovered. Get a cheap SMART TV and you'll be fine. Buy a new one every 5 years or so.
My neighbor bought the $5k expensive "outdoor tv" and bought the black plastic enclosure for it.
I have seen alot of people use these though for regular tvs.

I'm on my second old TV from inside being used as my covered deck TV. Bought a 50 inch to hang on the living room wall and moved a decade old 46 inch out there, back in 2020. It lasted until last fall. The screen was still fine, but no sound was working. I tried different inputs, from a Firestick, to a DVD player, to an XBox, on all of the available HDMI inputs. Even plugged an old Nintendo Wii into it with the old RGB cables, an a Coax antenna, and couldn't get sound to work with anything. So I tossed it and put an even older 32 inch I had stored in the basement out there. Still works great. When that one dies, I've got a somewhat newer 32 inch in my home office I'll stick there and upgrade the office TV. The only thing mine is exposed to is cold and heat. It sits on a table right next to the house, in a corner, and the edge of the deck is 12 feet away, so it never gets any direct moisture. Sure we have some humidity to deal with, but at $200-300 for a new TV, I'll just keep upgrading another TV and put that old one out on the deck.
