Wow didn't know about humidity and effect on TV on Lanai. I guess that
Explains what happened to my set. Blew out two weeks ago waiting on Best Buy to come and fix. Lucky I bought the service contract.

There are televisions and electronics made specifically for outdoors, according to my husband.

Yes, but they are REALLY expensive for what you get in terms if features. And with all the new features coming out so quickly, I'd hate to invest so much in a TV that may be obsolete in a few years.

That is very considerate of you. Enjoy!

We have had an indoor flat screen on our lanai for years with no problems. It is tucked far enough in under the roof to keep it dry in a rain storm and we keep a large towel over it when not in use to keep the pollen out of the insides. We also keep the remote in a plastic zip-lock baggie as it is near the screen wall gets wet when it rains. Not worried about security, although we do bring the tv in the house if we plan on an extended vacation of a couple weeks or more.

You definitely have a mean streak, beating on golfers when they are down. At my current course one of the houses plays a recording of a dog barking on weekends. If you pay attention you can tell because it loops and repeats.
