FULL STORY
======================================================================

Summer may almost be over, but Sylvox isn't letting that stop it from 
shipping its 43-inch Deck Pro Series outdoor 4K TV (that can withstand 
partial sun). The set is selling for just $999 or 976 if you live in the UK. 

Sylvox also offers a 43-inch outdoor TV (partial sun) in its Pro Deck Series. 
Both sets have to be a lot tougher than a traditional TV. That toughness 
costs money, but somehow Sylvox has managed to make a waterproof 4K TV with a 
decent spec for $1,299 in the US and 1,343 in the UK. 

If youve ever wished you could have one of the best TV s on your deck, youre 
probably well aware of how expensive outdoor TVs can be. Thats because they 
have to survive things that TVs dont normally experience indoors, such as 
wind-blown dust, rain showers and angry geese. OK, maybe not angry geese. But 
its tough out there. Sylvox's 43-inch outdoor TV: key specifications 

Lets start with the environmental stuff first. The Deck Series outdoor TV is 
rated IP55 for waterproofing and all weather resistance. It's also 99% 
dust-proof, which is fine for a deck but maybe not the best choice if your 
deck is in the Nevada desert. Its designed to operate in temperatures from 
-22 to 122F,and with 1,000 nit brightness, which means it's bright enough for 
partial sun. The exterior is primarily made from metal so its a hefty thing 
(around 40lbs) and all the connections are protected from the elements by a 
tight-fitting metal plate. 

Of course, a tough TV is no good if it isnt also a good TV. And this appears 
to tick the right boxes with its 4K panel. Youre not going to get 
class-leading performance akin to one of the best gaming TVs here but there 
are 3 HDMIs for connecting multiple devices, a respectable 60Hz refresh rate 
and an okay 8ms response time  which isfine for movies, shows and sports. The 
OS here is based on Linux and includes all the key apps including Netflix, 
YouTube, Prime Video and so on, and theres a range of mounting options 
including ceiling and wall mounts. 

Weve mentioned partial sun a couple of times now. The 1,000 nit brightness is 
up to three times brighter than many indoor TVs and twice as bright as many 
laptops, but itll still struggle to be clear in direct, very bright sunlight; 
this is best suited to decks that arent exposed to the noonday sun without at 
least some partial shade. You may also like Should I buy an outdoor TV?
