The new SunBrite Veranda 3 line of full-shade outdoor LED TVs has been launched by Snap One, bringing the full quality and functionality of indoor TVs to the outdoors.
The Veranda 3 TV line up feature 4K UHD resolution, 1,000-nit brightness, Wi-Fi, dual 10W speakers, quantum dot technology, a native 120Hz refresh rate, IP55 protection against the elements, a weatherproof remote and Android TV smart platform, making them ideal for covered backyard porches, as well as commercial outdoor areas.
SunBrite used several innovations when creating Veranda 3, including quantum dot technology that generates 1 billion colours, 72 local dimming zones to improve contrast, Google Assistant voice control and Google Chromecast integration that enables simple streaming from mobile devices. The Veranda 3 models also support Dolby Vision HDR picture, Dolby Atmos sound, and is IMAX Enhanced-certified.
An audio-out port also allows connection to entertainment systems and external speakers, while the SunBrite soundbar can be mounted and connected to the TV to provide high-quality audio with no additional cabling or components.
Thanks to the rear-facing IR receiver/emitter and availability of IP control, installers can also integrate Veranda 3 TVs into control systems and other media distribution solutions. The TV’s remote will then become a control system device, offering Google Assistant voice control of connected devices through its integrated microphone.
“We designed the Veranda 3 line to give integrators and end users a simple way to bring incredible colour, contrast and overall picture quality to their outdoor spaces, knowing that many of these units may be integrated with control systems and media distribution solutions,” said Rob Brunett, SunBrite product manager at Snap One. “Whether a family wants to add an outdoor TV to watch streaming movies or a retail store wants to run outdoor ads during the day in a shaded location, Veranda 3 is the optimal choice.”
SunBrite’s weatherproof cable entry system is included to make cable hookups easy, featuring thick gaskets that form a compression seal around cables entering the media bay door. The included media bay can accommodate many types of media players and baluns and offers a USB 3.0 power port that eliminates the need for additional external cords.
To protect from rain, snow, dust, dirt, humidity, salt air, and insects, the display is IP55-rated and remote is IP56-rated. Its outdoor-rated mounting options include fixed, tilt, and articulating styles, along with deck poles and ceiling mounts.
Veranda 3 TVs are currently available in 55” ($2,899) and 65” ($3,649) with the 75” coming in Q3 2022.
