    Any affordable weatherproof sets out there?

    I'm looking to put a weatherproof hdtv on my patio. I'm looking for a 32" to 37"(maybe 42", but I probably can't afford that). Any ideas?

    I'm only aware of one current weatherproof HDTV out there, and it was available in the range of sizes that you mention. I saw it at CEDIA, and was very interested in it, but don't remember the details. I seem to remember that it was a 3rd-party company that made a modified version of another manufacturer's OEM product, and that it was weatherproof.

    Me living in Alaska, I even asked about extreme weather, and they had solutions, such as a mini-heater that kept the internal componentry from freezing in arctic climates.

      There's a actually a few companies making them, but they cost about 3-4 times as much as an equivalent normal TV. Here's one company:

      Sun Brite TV's

      Unless it's not covered by a roof or along the outside perimeter, you would be better off buying a cheap one and replacing it every 2-3 years.

        I wonder if I would be able to just enclose it in plexiglass or something...
