Buy right once: Choose the brightness class for the sunniest hour you'll watch, and an operating range that covers your winters. Run speaker wire and a GFCI outlet once, before the patio or pergola goes in.
Before you buy, check:
- Direct sun on the screen: none, some or a lot
- Your winter low against the TV's operating range
- Wire run length from the amp to each speaker

Sizing tools
Outdoor TV by sun and climate
Pick the brightness class for your patio, then check the TV's operating temperatures against your winters and summers.
How it works: Outdoor TVs are rated by where they go: full shade, partial sun or full sun, with brightness rising from about 600 to 1,000 nits. The temperatures compared are each maker's published operating range.
Estimate only; confirm with your installer or the manufacturer.
Outdoor speaker wire gauge by run length
The wire gauge to use from the amplifier to your outdoor speakers.
How it works: For 8-ohm speakers, 16 AWG is fine to about 50 ft, 14 AWG to about 80 ft and 12 AWG to about 120 ft; lower-impedance speakers and long runs need thicker wire. Buried wire must be rated for direct burial.
