I want to instal a +/- 50″ TV in a courtyard area. Based on the desired viewing location I can install a window in the wall of my garage and mount the TV inside the garage where it will be secure and protected from the elements. This installation won’t dramatically impact the garage. I’m hoping I’ll be able to find a bracket that allows the TV to be pulled away from the window and swiveled 180 degrees to allow viewing in the garage as well as in the courtyard. Finding the magic bracket is not my main concern
My main concern whether the TV will be viewable in daylight (brightness and glare) . The area is shaded most of the day but during certain times of the year there would be some bright sun.
1. Is this type of location/installation viable for day time viewing.
2. Are some types of screens better suited for this type of installation?
3. LCD vs Plasma?
4. If the screen is mounted directly behind glass is there a certain type of glass that would best to use?
5. Any idea where I can find the magical bracket?
I have considered a weatherproof/outdoor TV but they are pretty pricey. If mounting in the window behind glass is not recommended an outdoor enclosure could be an option assuming there’s one that also provides some security.
