I want to see the dog smoking the cigar. Please!! The whole barking part is a bonus.

I have a regular tv from my old house. Put it up on my lanai and got a canvas tv cover. It works fine and my lanai is screened. I live out here!!

Is this a real question, as far as I know their is not an outdoor TV.

We have a regular flatscreen mounted in the lanai wall; works great, we love it.

There absolutely are outdoor rated televisions, but they are not cheap.

But for sets installed on a lanai, a regular tv works just fine

We have a regular TV. So far so good.

We have had a regular TV on the labia for 5 years now. Used to keep a beach towel over it so it could breathe, but we now have lania enclosed. Works fine as long as you can see the screen. We used to bring it inside for hurricanes.

Where yours is installed must be painful :)

You can always use set up a bluetooth connection to keep neighbors from hearing your tv.

When you say covered lenai does it only have screening and solid roof. That's cinsidered a screen room. Lenai has solid roof and windows but no A/C and heat. We have a lenai and have a regular tv for many years. No problem. If you have what is considered a screen room you should not have any trouble as long as it's far enough away where the rain cannot reach it. My neighbor has one and has had no problem. .

What we have here are lanai's. A solid covered room with two, or sometimes three solid walls. The remaining areas have screens.

Have had a 32 inch flat-screen on lanai for 18 years. I unplug it if there is a storm but leave it out, never had a problem.

Neighbors t's do not bother me, but a fire pouring smoke into my house when I want to have the windows open really irritates me. TV's is not out in the country somewhere that you can openly burn. Use a propane pit if you have to do this. Enjoy the tv
