As outdoor living spaces become more sophisticated, it’s critical for people to understand how environmental factors impact AV performance — specifically their selection of a proper outdoor television. Furrion manufactures televisions for a variety of outdoor environments, and one large area of confusion that exists in the market is what is a full-sun TV and what should its capabilities be?
Outdoor Week: Bringing the Indoors Outside
Full-sun environments are areas consistently exposed to direct sunlight throughout the day, such as uncovered patios, decks, and commercial spaces with little to no shade. These environments require an outdoor television that is capable of withstanding extreme conditions with features that address those needs. High screen brightness, broad operating temperature range, robust cooling system, elevated weather resistance, and impact-resistant screens are important features to consider when purchasing a television for this environment.
To address this need, Furrion introduced the Aurora Full-Sun Pro Series outdoor smart TV that is purpose-built for full-sun exposure in both commercial and residential spaces. The 2500-nit brightness screen ensures optimal viewing in direct sunlight, and an IK09-rated impact-resistant screen protects against flying debris and accidental mishaps. The IP66-rated housing can withstand all forms of weather, while an operating temperature range of –24 degrees F to 140 degrees F ensures performance in some of the most extreme environments.

Instead of a cooling system that utilizes fans that would struggle to keep a television cool, Furrion integrates industrial heat sinks that allow the TV to perform at a more extreme temperate range and avoid isotropic blackouts that can develop on many of the other TVs in the market.
Understanding these nuances ensures the right solutions are specified for every outdoor space. Choosing purpose-built products like the Aurora Full-Sun Pro Series not only enhances client satisfaction but also sets the standard for lasting performance in outdoor AV installations.
