SunBriteTV Outdoor TV 55-Inch Veranda (1st Gen) 4K Ultra HDTV LED Black - SB-5574UHD-BL

Comment

Decently made TV. Screen is prone to glare. Cannot access the AV inputs while installed on the TV mount due to how the protective panel opens and closes. So, be sure to have all your connections made before hoisting this up on to the mount. I heavily considered buying cheap TVs with warranties and putting them into an outdoor enclosure. However, the price of the case with fans, heaters, etc., was over $1300. Additionally, you are then watching TV through plexiglass or have to lift the shield up each time you watch. Also, the case doesnt look anywhere near as nice as the aluminum shell installed on the Veranda TV. And the Veranda is noticably brighter than any of the indoor TVs I put outside, despite being in full shade under a patio. The extra brightness makes a huge difference in viewability. For now, I think I made the right decision, usability is so much nicer with this TV than a TV + cabinet option. The AV pay electric on the back has enough room for most items you would use. I am sendig video and audio through a 4K HDMI balun over a single CAT6 cable from the AV receiver in the house. The balun is not small, and it fits easily. Considering the price point, the only way I will feel regret is if the unit fails early but outside of warranty.

I purchased a 55" Sunbrite Veranda series TV to replace an indoor TV that I had originally installed on my screened-in and covered porch. Wow, what a difference! Not only does the Sunbrite TV have an excellent picture, it is noticeably brighter which makes a huge difference outside. On top of that, I can now rest assure that my new TV will last for many more years as it is clearly designed to handle extreme weather conditions. The design of the casing and the input bay (for coaxial, HDMIs, Ethernet, etc) is very well thought out, and I feel very confident that I no longer have to worry about moisture or other environment elements frying my TV. We have plans to expand our outdoor living spaces, and I will definitely be purchasing another Sunbrite TV when the need arises. For anyone considering purchasing once, make sure you take a look at the various series offered (Veranda, Signature, etc), as even though they are all designed for the outdoors, they have various specifications on how well they handle direct sunlight. That was probably my biggest learning during my research.

Arrived timely and well boxed for protection. Did not know it was wall mount only but that was my intention anyways. Picture is very good in bright sunlight, sun does need to be somewhat behind and not shining directly on the screen to view and maintain heat level. A bit pricey but hopefully worth it as our last tv got hit by the smallest amount of water on the screen and stopped working properly.

I purchased the Sunbrite 55 inch veranda television to be used under a tiki in South Florida. The picture is terrific but the sound is not. At 100% volume, you can barely hear this TV from 10 feet away, let alone when you are having a party with any background noise. So... I looked into purchasing a weatherproof soundbar from Sunbrite FOR ($999.00!!!) Turns out, the Sunbrite soundbar WILL NOT WORK unless you add an amplifier to go with it. I called customer service to find out how much THAT would cost and they told me Sunbrite doesnt sell amplifiers! and that I should look elsewhere (they suggested amazon or a marine store OMG). Please think about this before you drop 2k on an outdoor tv that you cant hear outdoors. So disappointed.

So I got my 55-Inch Veranda TV just last week and was able to install it on Saturday easily. Hooking up both cable and Roku were simple. We just finished a complete overhaul of our backyard – new covered patio and pavers, and the TV was the final touch. We had friends over to watch the Stanley Cup finals and then the NBA finals the next day, and the picture was great. Everyone around the backyard could clearly see the action and hear the games. My daughters are already setting up movie nights with their friends. I would recommend this TV to anyone trying to create an entertainment area in their backyard.

Love the durability, simplicity, and performance of this TV, easy to connect, works perfectly, looks great outdoors in the brighter light. I was even able to connect my Amazon Fire 4k TV and power it using the TV USB port, so its completely enclosed in the rear cabinet. Sound isnt perfect (to be expected) so add a good sound bar and you are good to go.

The TV is so clear and beautiful. The only thing i dont like is the sound. when sitting outside you have to put it up to about 80 if you have sprinklers or your pool equipment running. Would give it 5 stars if the sound quality were better. Other than that its a gorgeous TV.

Great TV that is built for the outdoors. The fit and finish is great and the panel enclosing the AV connections is well sealed. Picture is great and I had no issues with the install. I would have given 5 stars if the ethernet connection provided more than firmware updates. It would be nice to stream apps right out of the unit.

Great t.v. initially, however after about 9 months of usage the screen became cloudy then a protective film, which apparently is used by the company, started to flake off. The flaking is most prevalent around the edges, but some in the interior (see attached photos). It looks real bad when turned off. When powered on, it looks as if you are viewing on a very dirty of hazy screen. Heres the response from the warranty department, "This is a Veranda series TV which is meant for full shade. It looks like this TV has seen quite a bit of direct sunlight exposure, which is causing the protective film to melt and peel off. It looks like due to the heat from the direct sunlight the gasketing is exploding near the bottom of the TV as well. Unfortunately this is not covered under warranty as this is a full shade television. We can extend 15% off a new television, but highly recommend you move to a Pro series to avoid this issue in the future. Please let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns. Thank you! Brittany Jenkins, Sunbrite Technical Support"

Watch this baby almost every night on the back patio. Also have an older 32” sunbrite. This one is lighter than that one, and the picture is outstanding!
