Should You Use an Indoor TV Outdoors?
Yes—if your patio is covered and the TV is protected from the elements, an indoor TV can be a smart and cost-effective alternative to expensive outdoor models. Plus, you’ll benefit from upgrading sooner as technology improves.
For example, this $350 TV used for 2 years costs about $175 per year. A $1,600 outdoor TV that lasts 4 years costs $400 per year. And after two years, newer indoor TVs offer better performance anyway.
Conclusion: This LG 50” 4K TV is lightweight, stylish, easy to set up, and packed with smart features. For outdoor entertainment under a covered patio, it's a great budget choice that won’t break the bank.
Hi guys! This is a 50-inch Ultra High Definition TV from LG. It’s a 4K Smart TV loaded with tons of streaming apps and includes a Magic Remote control. Let’s dive into the details here on the Ultimate Tech Hub.
We bought this TV specifically for our backyard patio. The goal was to stream movies using services like Plex, Sling TV, Hulu, or Apple TV. We considered buying an outdoor TV but found them too expensive. Since this unit will sit under a covered patio, weather shouldn't be an issue.
Our requirements were:
This LG TV checked all those boxes at $329. Let's unbox it. It came with:
The TV was lightweight, well-packed with foam, and had a nice bezel. On the back of the TV we found:
Wall mount holes were also present, with the power port located on the bottom left. We installed the two stand brackets using a Phillips screwdriver—press them into place, tighten the screws, and peel off the film.
We set the TV up outside on a stand near a wall power outlet. The Magic Remote required batteries, and once installed, we explored its features. The Magic Remote allows clicking, scrolling, and voice commands using LG’s Voice Mate, similar to Alexa.
During initial setup, we configured language, location, and Wi-Fi. The TV uses LG’s WebOS with ThinQ AI and supports both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
The TV comes with preloaded apps, but you can download more from the LG Content Store—like Plex for our home media server.
So, is using an indoor TV outside worth it? If you have a covered patio, absolutely. Technology changes so fast that buying a $1,500 outdoor TV may not be wise when indoor models like this one perform just as well outdoors for a few years—and at a fraction of the price.
If this $350 TV lasts two years, that’s $175 per year. A $1,600 outdoor TV lasting four years costs $400 per year and will be outdated after two years anyway.
Bottom line: using an indoor TV outdoors is a cost-effective choice if it’s protected. We'll include a link below to purchase this TV and update the comment section every six months on how it holds up.
