I guess my outside covered patio TV has quit after about 6 years of outside use. Thinking about going to Sam's, Walmart or Best Buy and getting another regular TV to put outside. A TV around 40 inches fits best. Any good deals or suggestions?

I got a 55 inch 4K Smart TV from Costco for $350 in November. I always buy cheap TVs for outside because the humidity gets to them pretty quick.

Something cheap that you can replace in a few years if it breaks

You've already got the right idea. Don't bother spending the money on an outdoor rated TV, they are thousands and a regular TV will do just fine. By the time you need to replace it, there will be a bigger cheaper TV available.

For my outside TV I went to Best Buy and asked them if they had any demo TV's or anything that was returned that they couldn't resell. Ended up getting a 42" for $125. That was 3 or 4 summers ago....

This....TCL brand. Spend the 30 bucks for 3 year extended warranty. That's 5 total years of warranty for under 400 bucks and a great TV picture also with Roku

Exact same one I have on my back porch. Works great. Been up for almost 3 years now and never once had an issue.

Just get a TCL and replace it if it dies.

Do you guys cover your TVs outside?
