Outdoor TVs are built to withstand the elements, including wind and rain. However, since it's still an electronic device, your outdoor TV should sit under some sort of enclosure, like a pergola or awning to avoid damage from torrential downpours or built-up snow. You'll also want to be mindful of other equipment that could harm your TV. The rule of thumb is to keep your TV at least six feet away from pools, fireplaces, and grills. And you want to face it in the north direction to prevent it from receiving direct sunlight. You'll also want to choose an outdoor TV with a strong screen. That way, it can withstand impact from smaller debris it might come in contact with during a storm.
