Would you move your living room furniture onto your patio and expect it to last? Of course not. So why would you put an indoor TV outside and expect it to survive Florida’s sun, salt air, and summer storms?
At Integral Home Technology, we specialize in designing and installing outdoor audio-video systems in Tampa Bay, including weatherproof TVs, outdoor speakers, and landscape lighting. As an HTA Certified integrator, we help homeowners throughout Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and the surrounding Gulf Coast areas choose the right equipment for year-round enjoyment.
What Makes an Outdoor TV ‘Weatherproof’?
When shopping for outdoor TVs in Tampa, look for products with an IP65 rating or higher. This rating, established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), indicates the TV is:
-
- Dust-tight (6 = no dust ingress)
- Water-resistant against powerful water jets (5 = protection from rain and hose-down cleaning)
- Dust-tight (6 = no dust ingress)
That 75″ OLED in your family room? Not even close.
We recommend displays from Samsung The Terrace and SunBriteTV, which are specifically built for Florida outdoor environments—including beachfront properties exposed to salt air and extreme temperatures from -22°F to 122°F.
Considerations for Outdoor TV Installation in Tampa Bay
Every outdoor space is different, which is why custom AV installation is essential. We take into account:
-
- Sunlight exposure (full sun, partial sun, or shaded)
- Viewing distance and angles
- Humidity and salt air exposure
- Mounting locations (e.g., pergolas, lanais, outdoor kitchens)
- Cable management and corrosion-resistant hardware
We also install outdoor-rated mounts, designed to resist rust, discoloration, and deterioration in coastal climates like ours.
Bigger Screens. Brighter Picture. No Glare.
Want that big-screen experience outdoors? No problem. Today’s outdoor TVs come in sizes ranging from 55″ to 85″, with ultra-bright panels and anti-glare technology designed to perform under direct sun.
We’ll help you choose the right display based on placement—whether your screen is going under a shaded patio or facing the open pool deck. Full-sun models offer the brightest output and toughest build.
