9 Tips for Installing an Outdoor TV in Your Backyard

Outdoor living spaces have become more than just a trend—they are essential for entertaining and creating memorable family moments. One of the most exciting ways to enhance your pool area is by adding a giant outdoor TV. Imagine enjoying daytime movie marathons, epic sports watch parties, or fundraising events with a stunning, glare-free screen right by your poolside. At YOLO TV, we specialize in custom, all-weather TVs that deliver unparalleled brightness and durability. Here are 9 tips for installing an outdoor TV in your backyard to maximize enjoyment and functionality.

1. Choose the Right Size TV for Your Space

When it comes to outdoor TVs, bigger is better. YOLO TV offers sizes ranging from 115 to 317 inches, ensuring your screen can be seen from every corner of your pool area. For larger pools or expansive outdoor spaces, a bigger screen provides a more immersive viewing experience. Consider the distance between your seating area and the screen to determine the optimal size.

2. Opt for All-Weather Durability

Unlike regular TVs, YOLO TVs are engineered to with stand the elements. From the freezing winters of Minnesota to the scorching heat of Texas and the salty, coastal winds of California, YOLO TVs deliver flawless performance. Rain, wind, sleet, and even splashing water from your pool will not impact your TV’s performance. Our TVs are designed to handle it all—extreme cold, blazing sun, and everything in between.

3. Prioritize Daylight Bright Technology

Traditional TVs struggle with glare and washed-out images when placed outdoors. YOLO TVs are built with daylight-bright technology, making them crystal clear even with the sun shining directly on them. This feature allows you to host daytime events like poolside movie marathons or sports viewing parties without worrying about visibility.

4. Find the Perfect Placement

Positioning your outdoor TV is crucial for both aesthetics and functionality. Avoid placing it too close to the pool to minimize direct splashing, even though YOLO TVs are splash-proof. Consider wall mounts, pole mounts, or our innovative hydraulic lift system—"The Rise"—which allows the TV to emerge from the ground for a sleek, modern touch. Ensure your chosen spot provides optimal viewing angles for guests.

5. Provide Ample Seating and Shade Options

Comfortable seating arrangements will elevate your outdoor viewing experience. Arrange lounge chairs, outdoor sectionals, or bar stools to create a relaxed atmosphere. Adding shade structures, like pergolas or umbrellas, can further enhance comfort without compromising the view—though with YOLO TV’s glare-free screens, shade isn’t a necessity.

Airbnb hosts, short-term rental owners, and apartment complexes can increase property appeal by installing YOLO TVs near pools and outdoor common areas. These TVs create a standout feature that guests rave about in reviews. Businesses such as restaurants and event venues can also benefit from poolside TVs, offering patrons unique experiences and driving more foot traffic.
