TV cover for outdoor TV
Posted on 9/17/26 at 7:52 pm

Trying to find a decent outdoor TV cover. I have a 65" Samsung mini-LED on a brick wall under a covered porch. I see a bunch of Khomo Gear and Sylvox on Best Buy's website. I just want something that will keep the dew and humidity off the TV and something that will last 5 years or longer. Any sugesstions?

Ibirdie fabric cover on Amazon for like $30. I’ve had several and they have all kept my tv covered well, with one being pretty exposed to rain. They even have a pouch for a remote.
The back didn’t fit great over the mount I had, so I just made some slits so that it played flat against the back side. Don’t overthink this
Eta: sorry didn’t see you wanted something long term. I’m not sure these would last 5 years, but at least 2 or 3 if they aren’t completely exposed to sun

The fabric cover from Amazon has lasted me 3+ years and I think it cost me $30 give or take.

Amazon...almost 2 years old. On a 55 inch under my deck.
Could use a cleaning but is holding up well.

You bought a Samsung, so you may want to get a TV cover. But I have a cheap TCL for outside and leave it uncovered.
My thought was just buy a cheap one, and when it goes out buy another cheap one. It’s still going strong 5 years later.

My FIL and I installed one of these downstairs at his beach house years ago (also a Samsung TV) and it has worked great in the high humidity. They are pretty expensive but if you want your TV to last long-term, this sort of idea is the way to go.
Could also search for comparable products to this - maybe there are some cheaper options. Good luck.

Dew and elements yes, but will do nothing for the humidity. You can spend $500 and buy a nice mounted box, someone in this thread posted a link. Or you can buy a $50 cover on amazon. I've used both, honest answer is the box looked better, but made no difference with the longevity of the outdoor TV.

+1 for coverstore
You don’t need a sealed box.

Do this. Having had a few stores where tvs are outside you really just want to make sure it isnt getting drenched with water. Otherwise, the humidity and heat is what chews it up

Third vote for this. 5 years and going strong with mine. Under a covered patio and have never covered it. If it breaks, they are cheap these days. And I find that it’s used more when there isn’t a cover.

Mine is under covered patio, uncovered, for 3 years, thru harsh winter and Midwest summers , no issue. Not as humid as S LA , but very moist with extreme temp changes.

I have an Amazon cover on mine. 'Bozzcovers' is the brand name. Been out there for 2 years and I don't see any reason it wouldn't last 5 more. Still looks brand new, just a little faded as it gets direct western sun every afternoon.

Sir. When you mount the TV side wall brackets to the back of the TV, put the cover fabric on the TV and then attach the brackets through the fabric. Get a cover with a zip face and velcro or zip along the bottom.
This is about as air-tight as you can get with a regular outdoor fabric/canvas cover. With the bracket mounted through the cover you obviously cannot take it off to watch, so thats why you'll need the zip up front.
In my experience, the humidity easily gets access to the back of the TV because of bracket and wires, doing it this way virtually eliminates that.

We have a StormShell for 65" TV, been having it for 4-5yrs. Works great...
