55 inch TV for outside

Just buy the cheapest tv that has the size and features you want. Expect to get 5 years out of it and rise/repeat. No sense in spending good money on an outdoor tv

Want it to have over air antenna built in and Roku

Better off just getting a $20 leaf antenna and streaming stick separate

I have a TCL Roku TV on outside and recently bought another one (55" was on sale at Walmart for under $300 a few weeks ago) for my office. They're great, inexpensive TVs.

TCL's roku format is solid. No need for streaming device. The only time I have used a TCL OTA tuner was in an AirBnB. I was able to get a CBS football game with a coat hanger.

I’m in this cycle. I typically wait for a sale and try to buy the cheapest 55” I can find. I usually get 3-4 years out of them. Secret is to keep them covered except when using them. Found that out after first one lasted 2 years.

It doesn’t matter brand. Just turn it up as bright as possible for daytime. I just stream off built-in Roku.

I recently saw some as cheap as $200 w Roku. At a cost of $50-$75 per year, no one should be upset if it pops in 3 years. If you get 4, you’ve done well.

Search “cheapest 55 inch tv” and go from there. You’d be surprised with the deals that are already happening.

I have 3 50+ inch screens in my house. Living room and kids play room, and outdoor patio (covered). The outside patio screen is always the oldest tv in the house.

When the patio one dies, I get a new tv for the living room and shift them down the line to the patio TV.

There are so many good TV's for under 1k that it doesnt make sense to buy one specifically for the patio. They are all bright enough and mainly get used at night anyway.
