Although I don't have a Lantana, we have ours mounted on our Gardenia lanai, and the tv is just shy of 4' feet away from the screen. I have only covered the tv one time since I installed it in 2014. Despite numerous storms, wind and rain, I've never had a problem. You can search this forum and find where people have asked about TV's rated for outdoor use. In my opinion, they are a waste of money. I watch our TV outside every single day, and thoroughly enjoy it. As far as disturbing neighbors, our closest neighbor is 40-50 yards away. When watching from the pool, we use a small Bluetooth speaker so the volume isn't an issue for neighbors. Depending on your setup, you could do the same.
