I love our screen porch (i.e. I'm an obsessive porch squatter) and I have thought how nice it would be to have an HDTV. Currently I use a laptop and occasionally set up my pico projector/screen. But I digress, the point is more and more homes feature what can only be called outdoor living rooms. The curb appeal progression has went from elevated master baths, open kitchens with entertaining room, to "don't forget the backyard living room. I can see why Samsung is dipping into what was formerly a niche aftermarket modder market. The highpoints are certainly making it robustly water and dust resistant and eliminating the needs for ugly or difficult to retro-install wiring. I was primed and ready until I saw the pricing. For the overpaid executives and bluebloods it's a pittance, but for a lot of working stiffs it's like the prices when flatscreens first arrived. I'll wait and in the meantime I'll share some observations. I've noticed a lot of folks putting non-outdoor rated flatscreens outdoors when they have an area that is relatively well covered as far as an overhead roof goes. One of my friends has had an older Sony he previously used inside relegated to his back porch. I ask him if he's had any problems because his isn't even that well covered as it resides under the eaves of his home. He said in three years it never failed to come on and play so he's fine with it if it dies now because between using inside and outside his home every day outside is like bonus time. I wonder how many folks use old TVS outdoors and how well covered they have these and are they getting use or having to chunk TVS?

How does this do in tight curves?

set up a unigear Camping Hammock in the yard, watching the TV, it will be very comfortable.
