Most outdoor TVs are just indoor TVs stuffed into a weatherproof box. Neptune™ is different. Built specifically for the outdoors, each model is matched to its environment: full sun, covered patio, or fully shaded space. You get 4K UHD, weatherproof construction that handles whatever the season throws at it, and smart streaming built right in. No workarounds. Just your show, outside.

Choosing the right outdoor TV starts with one question: how much sun does your space get? Neptune™ offers three series, each built for a specific environment rather than a generic catch-all "outdoor use" category.

Neptune™ Outdoor TV Features Explained
Brightness That Beats the Sun
Screen brightness is measured in nits. Most indoor TVs produce 200 to 400 nits. Neptune 2026 Full Sun TVs produce 1,500 sustained nits, more than enough to hold a clear picture in direct sunlight. Even the 2026 Partial Sun series delivers 1,000 nits, which is ideal for covered spaces where ambient light can still wash out an ordinary screen.
IP55 Weather Protection for Rain, Dust, and Bugs
The 2026 Neptune Partial Sun and Full Sun TV carries an IP55 rating, meaning the TV is fully protected against dust ingress and resistant to water projected from any direction. The sealed cable entry point also protects connected HDMI devices inside the input compartment from moisture, bugs, and debris. No covers, no seasonal storage required.
All-Season Outdoor Performance
All Neptune TVs are rated to operate in temperatures from -22°F to 122°F, so they hold up through Midwest winters and scorching summer afternoons without issue. No need to bring the TV inside at the end of summer. It's built to live outside year-round.
Built-In Smart TV with webOS Hub
Full Sun and Partial Sun Neptune Outdoor TVs are powered by webOS Hub, giving you access to Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, and hundreds of other apps directly on the TV. No streaming stick needed. The LG ThinQ AI Home Dashboard also lets you control compatible smart home devices like lights, thermostats, and appliances right from the TV screen.
freePATH Technology™ for Full Wi-Fi Signal Outdoors
Metal enclosures make outdoor TVs durable, but they can also block Wi-Fi signals. Neptune's (Full Sun and Partial Sun models) exclusive freePATH Technology™ solves this with a composite input compartment cover that keeps a strong wireless signal for the internal Wi-Fi antenna and any third-party streaming device stored inside the compartment. Stream without buffering.
Frequently Asked Questions About Outdoor TVs
Can I use a regular TV outside?
No. Standard indoor TVs are not rated for outdoor use. They lack weatherproofing, have insufficient screen brightness for sunlight visibility, and can be damaged or become a safety hazard when exposed to moisture, humidity, dust, and extreme temperatures. Neptune Outdoor TVs are purpose-built with IP-rated enclosures, sealed cable entries, and wide operating temperature ranges for safe, permanent outdoor installation.
What is the difference between Full Sun, Partial Sun, and Shade outdoor TVs?
The difference comes down to brightness level and where the TV is installed. 2026 Full Sun TVs (1,500 nits) are for open spaces with direct sunlight exposure. 2026 Partial Sun TVs (1,000 nits) and previous-gen Partial Sun TVs (500 nits) are for spaces that receive indirect or shifting sunlight throughout the day, like covered patios or pergolas. Shade TVs are for fully covered or enclosed spaces where brightness is less critical. Choosing the right series for your location ensures optimal picture quality and long-term performance.
How many nits do I need for an outdoor TV?
For full direct sun, aim for at least 1,000 to 1,500 nits. Neptune Full Sun TVs deliver a sustained 1,500 nits for clear visibility even at peak sun hours. For covered or shaded patios, 500 to 1,000 nits is typically sufficient. Using an under-spec TV outdoors results in a washed-out, difficult-to-see picture.
Are Neptune outdoor TVs waterproof?
Neptune 2026 Partial Sun and Full Sun models carry an IP55 rating (previous-gen partial sun and shade models are IP54-rated), meaning they're protected against dust and water spray from any direction, including rain and splashes. While they're not submersible, they can handle outdoor weather conditions year-round without additional covers.
Do outdoor TVs need to come inside in winter?
No. Neptune Outdoor TVs are rated to operate in temperatures as low as -22°F (-30°C), so they're built to stay outside through harsh winter conditions. They are true all-season outdoor TVs, not seasonal solutions.
What size outdoor TV do I need?
For typical patios, a 55" or 65" TV is a great starting point. For larger backyard entertainment spaces, outdoor kitchens, or commercial installations, consider a 75" model. Neptune offers 55", 65", and 75" options across the Full Sun, Partial Sun and Shade series.
Do Neptune outdoor TVs have smart TV features?
Yes. The Neptune Partial Sun and Full Sun Outdoor TVs are powered by webOS Hub (Shade TVs are powered by Google TV), giving you access to all major streaming platforms including Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Prime Video, YouTube, and more, without needing a separate streaming device. ThinQ AI integration, available with Partial Sun and Full Sun models, also enables smart home control from the TV screen.
