What makes a great outdoor TV?
If you’re planning on using your TV outdoors, it’ll need to have a decent amount of anti-glare protection, on a normal TV it’s likely the screen will be impossible to see properly. Next, you want your TV to be bright – looking at QLED TVs is probably your best bet for a great viewing experience.
