You are putting a TV on a patio, deck, covered porch or poolside wall and want to know the type, the cost and the install.
You want a TV for a bright indoor room. Read TV mounting service.
Which outdoor TV do you need?
An outdoor TV is not just a TV in a box. It is built for weather and, in the brighter models, for sun on the screen. Which one you need comes down to how much sun and weather the screen sees. Prices below are market estimates for a 55 inch set, not a fixed Pixl price.
| Type | Price, 55 in. | Brightness | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indoor TV in a fully enclosed three-season room | $500 to $900 | Standard indoor brightness | Sunroom or enclosed porch with no rain, snow or condensation |
| Outdoor TV for covered or shaded areas | $1,500 to $3,500 | Lower than partial-sun sets, built for shade | Covered porch or under a deep roof, no direct sun on the screen |
| Outdoor TV, partial sun | $2,500 to $4,500 | About 700 to 1,000 nits | Patios with morning or late sun and shade at peak |
| Outdoor TV, full sun | $3,500 to $7,000 | About 1,500 to 2,500 nits or more | Open decks and pools with sun on the screen all day |
An ordinary indoor TV does not belong on an open patio. Rain, snow, dust and condensation can damage it, and the maker’s warranty may not cover it. A fully enclosed three-season room is different, because the air is dry and sheltered.
What does the TV and the mounting add up to?
| Type | TV, market estimate | Pixl labour, 55 in. | TV plus labour |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indoor TV in a fully enclosed three-season room | $500 to $900 | $99.99 | $600 to $1,000 |
| Outdoor TV for covered or shaded areas | $1,500 to $3,500 | $99.99 | $1,600 to $3,600 |
| Outdoor TV, partial sun | $2,500 to $4,500 | $99.99 | $2,600 to $4,600 |
| Outdoor TV, full sun | $3,500 to $7,000 | $99.99 | $3,600 to $7,100 |
Pixl’s labour for a 55 inch TV is $99.99 in Calgary and Edmonton, and other cities differ. The mount is extra: use an outdoor-rated mount with corrosion-resistant hardware, and tell us the model when you book.
What do outdoor mounting jobs cost?
| Job | How it adds up | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 55 in. outdoor TV on a brick wall | $99.99 + $80 (brick) | $179.99 |
| 65 in. outdoor TV on a stone or concrete wall, weather-rated soundbar installed and mounted, one streaming box | $109.99 + $50 (concrete, tile or stone) + $50 + $50 + $25 | $284.99 |
| 55 in. outdoor TV on a flat wall, one streaming box, wires in a raceway | $99.99 + $25 + $60 | $184.99 |
Brick adds $80 and concrete, tile or stone adds $50 to Pixl TV labour. Stucco, vinyl siding and cedar are not on the posted list, so we confirm the price from a photo before booking. Wire hiding, the soundbar lines and extra devices are the same posted prices as indoors. See TV mounting by wall type.
What changes in a Canadian winter?
| Issue | Why it matters | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Cold | Many indoor TVs list an operating range that starts above freezing. Some outdoor models list about -31 C (-24 F) | The operating and storage temperature range on the datasheet |
| Freeze and thaw | Water gets into small gaps and expands | The weather rating, such as IP55, and sealed ports |
| Rain and snow | Driven rain reaches vertical screens, and snow builds up on ledges | A rating that suits exposure, and a cover or roof above |
| Condensation | Warm days and cold nights can fog a screen or electronics | Whether the maker lists the set for outdoor humidity swings |
| Low winter sun | A west or south wall gets glare when the sun is low | Brightness in nits, and the direction of the wall |
| Winter storage | Even a rated set may be safer stored or covered in deep cold | The maker’s guidance on winter use and storage |
Outdoor ratings vary by model, so treat every number on this page as a prompt to check your own datasheet rather than as a spec.
What about power, sound and WiFi?
| Need | What works | Who does it |
|---|---|---|
| Power | A weatherproof outlet with an in-use cover near the TV | A new outlet is work for a licensed electrician. Pixl’s posted prices do not include electrical work |
| Sound | A weather-rated soundbar or outdoor speakers | Pixl installs the soundbar you bought: $50 install, $50 to mount |
| Streaming | A streaming box behind the TV, or the TV’s built-in apps | Pixl sets up devices at $25 each behind the TV |
| WiFi | A router or mesh node close enough for the patio | See WiFi and mesh installation |
| Wires | Short runs on the wall in a raceway | $60 with Pixl for the TV wires. Runs through the building wall are not in the posted price |
Where on the wall should it go?
| Choice | Why |
|---|---|
| Under a roof or deep overhang | Cuts rain, snow and sun on the screen |
| Away from the afternoon sun | A west-facing wall gets glare late in the day |
| Above the grill or fire table | No. Heat and smoke shorten a TV’s life, so keep it well clear of both |
| At seated eye level or slightly above | Outdoor seating is lower and more relaxed. See how high to mount a TV |
| Where you can reach the back | You need access to cables and the mount for later work |
