An outdoor TV system is essential if you to take advantage of the sporting highlights that will be on the television during the summer months.
We have already looked at external speakers and how they work for most convenience, as I am sure you don't want to spend too long setting them up - do you?
So after you have planned the location where you will be installing your chiller case with your beer in it, the next most important is which television and how you are going to fix it outdoors.
Choosing a television.
If money is no problem you might want to go online and order a fully waterproof TV set, these range from $7,000 upwards, but if like 99.9% of people who are looking to put a TV outside, you want something a little more affordable.
You will have several choices from whether an LCD or plasma screen is best - this is a personal choice so only you can answer this question, then you will have to decide on what size of screen to get - anything going outside ideally has to be larger than 42" and up to 60" but again this will come down to budget.
Siting the TV.
The best spot to install a display outdoors is in a shaded area, otherwise you will struggle to see the screen in direct sunlight, unless you buy a sunlight readable display these again can become expensive.
Why a shaded area, well apart from being able to view the action on the TV, you don't want to be cooked in the sun do you?
You can mount the new screen directly to a wall via a rear mounting bracket, make sure it is at the right height and the right distance from where you intend on sitting.
Guarding the TV.
Now if you one of the multitude who cant afford a weatherproof television, you may wish to consider purchasing an outdoor TV system enclosure, this is a cabinet that the TV is mounted in to it and the TV is protected from the weather, no matter what nature throws at it as well as guarding it from theft. Another option would be to remove the television from the mount and put it in the house for protection from theft.
