TV comes well packaged and it has some weight to it since it’s enclosed in a waterproof box. The metal case has a grey hammer finish. The seams are sealed to keep water out. Even the remote is built for the outdoors with the battery door having a rubber gasket to seal compartment. There are a few requirements regarding placement. You cannot mount this inside a wall or an area with no ventilation. This is made to be wall mounted and for the metal case to dissipate the heat.
There are two elements to this review which is the TV and Google TV. The TV has a colorful and bright image out of the box. Display will definitely need to tweak settings according to your visual appeal. Speakers are better than LED TVs but are not like a sound bar. All the ports are easily accessible and labeled. In order to access all these ports you have to remove the rear cover by unscrewing several thumbscrews.
I am an Apple user and first time user of Google TV. In order to use this TV you will need to download the Google TV APP. The setup was straight forward and not difficult. I was having issues typing in names. For some reason I was not getting a keyboard. After some PD I decided to restart the TV. After the restart it started working. I am now able to type in words using my phone as a remote. Everything worked fine after that. If you don’t want to use your phone you can always connect a keyboard/mouse combo instead.
I like this outdoors TV since I can leave this out without the fear of it getting damaged due to humidity or bugs. Only con is price. It is more expensive than a standard TV. I am not going to deduct any stars since you are paying for its water resistance construction and the quality is there.
Thank you for taking the time to read my review and photos of this product. I hope it has been helpful in providing you with more information.
