How to Install an Outdoor Television | Ask This Old House
/ thisoldhouse - Навчання та стиль
We used the ZeboZAP to strap on our 55 inch tv on our patio post. It can rotate 360 degrees.
ZeBoZap is a good for gazebo, pergolas and patios
Zebozap worked for our 50” tv in our gazebo post. Heavy duty and works well.
Nice but NOT cheap! I suggest a rolling TV stand and LED TV. Also laughs at screw that obviously didnt bite and prolly just spinning at 3:25. hehe...
I noticed the screw too, l guess he did it again with a thicker screw 😂😂
I like the set-up, must be a nice neighborhood! lol
I was hoping he would include the address of that house somewhere in this video.
Cat Daddy 😂😂😂😂
I would have like to have seen how the cables pass through that water tight compartment on the back which covers the ports. That in-line IR repeater is cool, but not necessary. As long as the TV and source device is compatible with HDMI-CEC (consumer electronic control,) the TV's remote can already control other devices. HDMI-CEC has been around for a long time, and was part of the original HDMI 1.0 spec. Since then, lots of other features and commands have been added to newer revisions of the HDMI specification.
Did he just anchor to the stone siding?? Those are only held on with construction adhesive and will fall right off. And even if he went into the sheething, that is only 15/32 OSB at best.
thechosendude crappy construction
It's why you don't let an electrician do this job
And it will never look good again if the TV gets removed beforehand. They butchered it
great. what size of socket does it use? and whats your addresss?

These tvs (not including bracket, cables, installation) still range from $1500-$8,600 with most towards the higher end so roughly 10+ times the amount of an indoor tv. I can't imagine what they cost when this was installed. I've watched this clip several times over the years and got to wondering how it's held up. They can weatherproof all they want but between the effects of the sun, expansion and contraction with temperature, ANY water getting in, thieves and the bored neighbor kid with a BB gun these are still definitely for rich people. Electronics don't do well in the elements. I'll still inconvenience myself to take the 2 minutes to pop it on it's quick release mount and put it inside when not in use and spend the thousands saved on beer.
"bored neighbors kid with a bb gun"
Oof
I've had an indoor TV mounted in my backyard for about 2 years. It's held up great. It's under an awning so it doesn't get wet, but we watch every super bowl and world series in our backyard with our couches and BBQ.
Incredible
There's a flash frame at 5:44. It's a fade to black in the middle of the segment.
So if you ever want to get rid of this setup in a few years when it’s obsolete, you just have to re-rock the entire wall to repair the damage. Seems sensible.
Wouldn't you just install a new tv then?
VESA mounting has been around for a long time. The wall mount in my living room has outlived three TVs.
Oh look. go pro makes a garden hose now.
What do you mean?
B MAN
look at the hose.
what hose?
Nah, just the attachment.
And they didn’t even use the footage
Where can I find one of those HDMI outdoor plates?
Bom dia sou do Brasil gostaria de saber qual dispôsitivo é esse que entra no HDMI
You cut my vacuum hose!!!!
Did anyone notice the fade to black at 5:40?
Pootislord bad editing
Oh my god yes it was such a drama how do i heal myself now
Try leaving that tv outside in upstate ny in the winter
I would still cover it with a leather plastic cover in the rain. Maybe a moving blanket underneath to protect from hail no chances for me.
honestly id just buy a short throw projector instead of a tv, and u can add an motorized projector screen that doubles as window shades
Does this TV company do much exporting to Kenya?
The way he said go ahead go ahead hit it was so funny. I was expecting sparks 😂😂😂
Where can I find that style IR repeater? Everything I am finding seems much more complicated with additional wires and USB power.
What I learned from this video is the way you flat a stone wall. ;)
$150 32" HDTV $60 lumber and plexiglass, $40 fire TV stick. Same result and you get to keep your wife.
ROFL
Surprised they don't have a composite made frame for this application that would be truly rust proof. I'm not so sure that "stainless steel" gear would survive for years in damp conditions.
I would just buy a long pivoting wall mount and mount it inside maybe the door or windows sills and rotated the tv as I need it
That's... actually pretty smart. I'd be bothered about not being able to close the window/door when the TV is out. Bugs and all. Well I'm sure there's a solution to that too, maybe a partial seal-like board attached to the mount at the right angle and length. Good thinking!
Waterproof nice and ehr theftproof?
Okay, I would like to know how you you put together a weatherproof cabinet of sorts, to store an indoor Tv (say 50" or better) outdoors? I think I know what I might do but, your take would be informative. I'm sure.........
This homeowners outdoor area must have cost more than my whole house is worth....
I didn't know John Turturro went bald and became an electrician. Good for him.
+drp Family- "I like feet. I do not know why..." Mr. Deeds Movie.
Scott you forgot the grinder on the tool list
I love this new electrician. Great casting!!
pretty sure that ir sensor isnt waterproof...
This would be twoced in the UK before you finished putting it up on the wall
$2800 waterproof TV?? !! And you can probably watch few hours in weekend ?? Does the cost justify for a few hours of TV watching??
Bragging rights makes it worth it...lol. Also looks like the guy has money to burn.
Bharat Amin I'd use it only to watch nfl, nba, mma basically sports, while hosting a party outside
You could go to sams and buy quite a few of the same size TVs and replace them every time they broke (obviously cover it up) and still come out way cheaper
Its a nice setup. Not everyone is as much of a tightwad as you or me are.
Everthing on here is not for everyone remember that😎😎😎
what brand was that television how much did it cost
Sticker in the back panel says sunbritetv. The website says tv starting around $3kUS
Must be nice to live in a neighborhood where this is even a considerable option.
EXPENSIVE! Nada...
He says "your" really funny.
This is the perfect tv for watching the end of the world, from the comfort of your back yard.
he cut into the vacuum hose with the angle grinder.
2:29 😂
DVD doesn't do HD!
That awesome 480p resolution is the new hot thing. It's like watching TV Minecraft style.
The Cat Man yea it does if u upscale using a hd dvdplayer
Death wheel sideways to level stone? Yup, that's a paddlin'.
"It'll never rust" HA HA HA Naive innocent people
I live in the north-east so I know what you mean, but where they live that steel may not rust in a lifetime. Cubans still drive cars from the fifties and sixties after all.
stainless steel you dumbass
you are the dumbass... stainless steel will still rust in the right conditions
Stainless steel is capable of rusting. It's at a much slower rate than regular steel.
LOL stainless steel will not rust. with the correct grade it wont even corrode in salt water. stupid kids
Haha, thats interesting. "Stainless Steel" seems to come in various grades all of which cannot stand Florida. Wouldn't do this for a house, but in a business/restaurant setting it would be cool. And yea, as others mentioned how would you keep that sucker from getting stolen?
Weld the nud to the stud.
a burglar just needs a wrench
More like common sense jackass.
And the owners just needs a shotgun
i think thas a 12" inch socket lol
Armani Perez electric fence
If you're rich enough to own an outdoor tv, you're rich enough to have insurance.
Its completely water proof...all weather.....Only spray it for 10 seconds with the hose!
I guess this is not the BRONX
probably Westchester lol
would make the talented stone mason weep.
A $3,000 TV setup is pretty ridiculous. TV must be pretty important to this guy.
it is for him to put screws into his moulding
I've installed many of them. The people that buy them have lots of disposable income. If you have to ask how much or is it a waste of $$ then you can't afford it.
JoshGrami Electronics is more important right
I think it’s awesome!
Playing video games on component? Haha I mean I guess
What a coincidence that Ask This Old House is on. Yes I know it's a DVD.
Bug: On no it's a brush! Seriously?
You know, I go outside because I like being outdoors. Not to watch tv
Perfect. Now just send me your address and I'll be sure to pick-up your television in the middle of the night.
You still need to protect it from the sun. That TV will be worthless in a couple of years without a sun cover.
haha sounds nice but where i live it would be gone in 5 minuets.
2:08 his hands are saying no don’t touch it you still haven’t paid the bill
All you need is his address and you're up one tv
Three days later his tv was stolen out of his backyard lol
Cant be with out a tv huh
The moment he realized carrying the TV like he used to wasn't so bad knowing he could have taken his family on a vacation instead lol
I recently bought a speaker for my shower, it was called water-proof
Learn from my mistake, Water proof only means stuff like, if the shower head hit it. that hose? might not be considered water proof, especially if its a continuous stream and not a shower.
Also, If something is submerged in water, that is not counted against "Water proof".
So, be careful puting this above a pool, you won't get your money back if it fries out.
submerssion-proof is a whole another thing.
You've got to really love television to ruin your facade just to have one mounted outdoors.
if I had that backyard I'd have a TV out there too. Looks like a great way to enjoy a game.
You go outdoors too enjoy nature not to watch TV TV is something you do indoors
All other issues aside, -24 degrees still means you would need to take it down for winter.
Such an American thing to have a TV outside 😂
Very american.
I don’t think indoor TV’s will go out after spraying it for 10 seconds with water from the front. So silly test.
Rich people
The door covering the inputs on the TV is worthless without being able to close it when the HDMI is connected. Displays are getting pretty cheap, for the cost of that unit you could nearly buy 3 regular units for the same cost. You can buy a TV cover or on the cheap you can cut down a BBQ cover.
+Wakeywhodat There's an empty cavity for your wires to go through at the bottom.
+WillTam08 OK, faith in engineers restored! Unless I'm mistaken they didn't utilize it. Seems like they just plugged it in and left the door open.
outdoor tv problem is a rich person problem
Are you kidding me? Plastic anchors into stone veneer to hold $1000 tv up in the wind and storms? Come on TOH. You're better than this.
wedge anchor that thing
I've installed many of them. Believe me, those plastic studs that the lags are bolted into are just fine.
Hank Hamelin nah I’ve seen many TVs getting smashed because they were secure with plastic anchors cheap solution
I was just thinking, what a waste of those window frames to put 6 large bolts in that wood.. Then they start grinding down that natural stone wall for that stupid TV 😂😂😂What an idiots.
just mount a tv behind a window, bam
weather proof? let's see it withstand a hail storm and typhoon
I love TV and all but... No
Hola senor is Jose im suppose to mow the lawn.Whats the adress again.This is dumb heard garages,Closets,now in your backyard you really must not want to spend time with your wife.Backyard tv whats next gps for riding lawn mowers
CHEPOSPOOKY I believe that that's a thing.
First guy to come out .. it's always a lady lol ;)
When you have the money to put a tv outside so you dont use it, nice
Wtf. Why block your windows with a TV? If you want to watch TV, go inside!
Makes no sense at all to even have a tv ouside..
lol if i lived near him that tv would be gone haha jk.
In the scheme of things $3000 for a set up is not ridiculous with their TVs currently on the market costing at least three times that it sometimes more do your homework before your comment!
The grinder started cutting the vacuum hose cringe
very expensive tv
is that a gift for the burglar
Probably stolen the first night
You could buy this tv or a 70 inch 4k oled tv... what the fuk
#Rich.people.problems
