    Outdoor Setup - Looking for Affordable Monitor/TV (Full Sunlight)

    Couldn't find an appropriate forum for this question. Apologies if it's in the wrong place. Looking for something affordable to project my iPad onto (minimum 32") - not that concerned about graphics. Running Mevo+ with E6. I've only seen these high end TVs that run several thousand dollars. https://www.sunbritetv.com/products/...sun-outside-tv

    Any advice for cheaper alternatives would be appreciated.

    Check out waterproof cabinets for TV's. Just a regular TV that's kept in a cabinet. Open the doors when in use, close them when not. You can also get a waterproof cloth cover for an extra layer of protection when it's not in use. The cabinet should keep the glare off the screen too if there's enough of an overhang.

        If your handy with woodworking tools you can make one. It’s made with pressure treated lumber and the joints are sealed with caulking. The front drops down and can be used as a table.

          If in fact you in full sun you will need an outdoor tv as they turn up the brightness to work in full sun and put a vortex fan system to keep cool. They are also rated to withstand heat and minus 85.

            Gys, I just took this picture today after setting my area up now that the nice weather is here. The tv, a cheap hanspree, is in full sunlight. I have never had any issues with the tv and have been using this set up since last summer. The biggest problem I have run into is the iPad overheating while in direct sunlight which is from about 11am till 3pm or so. If it’s an issue I just sit the iPad under the cabinet in the shade.

              It doesn’t answer totally the question but personally I bought a cheap portable Chinese projector and a white screen that i put behind the net.
              you have to wait the night but this is a better experience to shot toward the target than any TV. 10 minutes setup and 300€.

                Bienvenue, cool setups outdoors there guys. I never thought to try setting up outside in golf season but my backyard is closer than the course. Brilliant.
