SunBrite’s 75-inch 4K outdoor TV lets you channel surf without losing your tan

SunBrite Veranda 75-inch 4K TV

We generally think of watching TV as an indoor TV, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Wouldn’t it be nice to be outside on one of those nights that is just too nice to miss without having to wait to watch the latest episode of your favorite TV show? That is what SunBrite had in mind when it launched its Veranda series of TVs in 2016. Now an even bigger model is joining the family.

Since its launch, the Veranda series of TVs has been available in 43-, 55-, and 65-inch varieties. With this new model, the series is getting its biggest screen yet with a 75-inch 4K display. Thanks to the operating temperature range of 24 below zero to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, you don’t even have to wait for perfect weather to try it out.

“Bigger is always better outdoors, so we’ve added a 75-inch model to our Veranda Series for those customers who have a large outdoor space,” SunBrite TV general manager Jonathan Johnson said in a statement. “And because the set is weatherproof, people with ski cabins or anybody who enjoys outdoor entertainment in the crisp winter air can sit outside around the fire pit and enjoy a movie or a football game.”

While they are still meant to be viewed in shady areas, SunBrite’s Veranda series TVs are up to 30 brighter than standard TVs. Like the other models, the new 75-inch model supports HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 for compatibility with 4K streaming devices and Blu-ray players and offers two HDMI ports and one USB port.

Many people would generally opt for a projector for outdoor viewing, but you will have trouble viewing anything in the daytime compared to a TV. That said, like a projector, you still need to do a little planning before you set up the Veranda TV, as it is meant to be permanently installed wherever you place it.

SunBrite isn’t the only company making outdoor TVs, but while competitors like SkyVue offer similarly sized TVs, they aren’t 4K. If this new 75-inch model has you interested but you want to do your research first, make sure to check out our 4K TV buying guide.

This stunning, folding 4K TV now costs 50% less, but you still can’t afford it

C Seed N1 folding 4K MicroLED TV.

MicroLED technology promises to one day give us absolutely huge TV screens at accessible prices. But that day is not today. Instead, it is being used to create some of the most dazzling -- and exorbitantly expensive -- TVs on the planet, like the stunning, folding 4K M1 TV from Austrian brand, C Seed, which will set you back $400,000. But we've got great news for those who simply refuse to spend more than $200,000 on a folding TV: C Seed has just announced the folding 4K N1 TV, which you can add to your home (or superyacht) for the miserly sum of just $190,000.

But just to keep your expectations in check, $190,000 is the starting price for the N1. For that amount, you're looking at the smallest screen size of just 103-inches. It's available in two larger sizes too (137- and 165-inches), but as they say, if you have to ask how much those sizes cost ...

YouTube TV in 4K: Everything you need to know

YouTube TV 4K streams settings and user options.

When it comes to streaming live TV in the United States (or streaming any kind of video anywhere, for that matter), resolution and bit rate remain as important as ever. And you're now able to enjoy YouTube TV in 4K. Some of it, at least. And if it seems like it's taken forever for that to happen, you're not wrong.

The basic fact is that it takes a lot of bandwidth to stream video — and that's even more difficult when you're talking linear TV, (and more so still if it's a live event like sports). So it's not really that much of a surprise to learn that most live channels stream at 720p resolution — or maybe 1080p if you're lucky. (We'll leave frame rate out of the equation for a minute, but it's a thing, too, especially for sports.)

4K TV buying guide: Everything you need to know

An LG 70-inch Class NanoCell 75 Series LED 4K UHD Smart TV sits on an entertainment stand in a living room.

If you haven't purchased a new TV at some point in the last decade, then you may or may not know how much has changed. Remember when HD broadcasting rolled out and 1080p flatscreens were the big thing? Nowadays, 1080p is more of an afterthought on larger displays, with a majority of TVs sized 40 inches or larger now supporting 4K and 8K resolution.

On top of increased pixel counts, today's TVs also come in multiple lighting and screen styles, with QLEDs and OLEDs representing which TVs are the best you can get your hands on. Then, when you factor in things like what kind of HDMI ports you need, smart features, size, and overall price, the purchase of a new TV can become a never-ending cycle of research and second-guessing.
