Default T.V. Recommendations

I want to get a T.V. for outdoors for around the pool. Does anyone have a T.V. which is left outdoors? I want to mount a flat screen H.D. T.V. on the wall, and it will be in an area that will have no direct exposure to sunlight and is dry. Any special things I need to worry about, or any recommendations? I want something about 26" or so.

What's your budget?

Not sure if it's something you have considered yet, but a projector might be a decent way to go. If you have a screened-in pool area, you could just put a retractable white screen on the metal frame, then put the projector in a sealable plastic box against the wall of your house. All you have to do is make a rubber grommet in the back to run cables in/out of the box, and one in the front that will cover the lens when not in use. That way you get to have the big screen look, while still being able to protect your investment from the elements.

Probably less than $1,000.00 which is pretty easy to do with a 26" screen. I have a Sony LCD H.D. T.V. in the family room, and I really like LCD pictures. I like Sony's T.V.s in general, but I would consider other brands.

If you came over for the un-Secret un-official meet at my house on the 28th, then you would know where I live.

Just make sure you get an LCD. the extra brightness over a plasma will be needed outdoors!
