Performance/Display/Resolution/Refresh

This TV has a bright LED backlight that’s way brighter than indoor TVs. The SunBrite TV Veranda Series has a premium, 4K UHD HDR screen, delivering an absolutely gorgeous picture quality even in the brightest areas. It has a 60hz refresh rate for smooth sports games without motion blur. One drawback is that the viewing angle isn’t fantastic; the screen has a glare when watching at an angle. Compare its picture quality to the Furrion TV, another outdoor television brand.

Sound

The SunBrite 43-inch TV has built-in speakers, but many Amazon reviewers say the audio levels are just not high enough. SunBrite does offer a separate external soundbar that’s compatible with the Veranda Series.

Smart Features

The SunBrite is not a smart TV, but it’s easy to add a Chromecast or Roku stick to the waterproof media bay for streaming capabilities. If you’re looking for smart features, check out the Sony XBR65X900F.

Ports/Expandability

This SunBrite has 3 HDMI ports and a USB port for flexible connectivity. The media bay is waterproofed, protecting the TV’s ports from sand and water.

Value

Because they are fully weatherproof and can handle extreme temperatures, SunBrite TVs are typically fairly expensive. The SunBriteTV 43 Inch Outdoor TV is pricy at $1,500, considering its size and lack of smart features. But, it’s built to last: its internal components are fully protected from rain, bugs, salt air, and dirt, so the value comes in its long lifespan. If you’re looking for a physically solid, rust-proof TV that you won’t have to replace for several years, then the SunBrite TV is definitely for you.

Sunbrite TV Wrap Up

If you’re looking to permanently install a TV on your covered porch, then you should seriously think about the SunBrite 43-Inch Outdoor TV. The Veranda Series is fantastic for shaded areas outside, and can handle both extremely hot and extremely cold temperatures. The picture quality is fantastic compared to other outdoor TVs on the market. Compare its features to the 55-Inch model of the SunBrite Outdoor TV.
