About the SunBriteTV SB-5518HD-BL

Steve Kindig

The best outdoor HDTV under the sun

SunBriteTV's latest Pro Series weatherproof TVs take outdoor viewing to the next level. Extended Solar Tolerance (EST) technology allows the TV to be viewed in direct sunlight. An anti-glare protective glass in front protects the TV screen from potential damage. That's especially important if the TV is near a play area, such as a pool, where an errant volleyball or Frisbee® could smack the screen.

The best outdoor HDTV under the sun

SunBriteTV's latest Pro Series weatherproof TVs take outdoor viewing to the next level. Extended Solar Tolerance (EST) technology allows the TV to be viewed in direct sunlight. An anti-glare protective glass in front protects the TV screen from potential damage. That's especially important if the TV is near a play area, such as a pool, where an errant volleyball or Frisbee® could smack the screen.

Designed to live outdoors year-round, the 55" SB-5518HD is a perfect addition to your outdoor kitchen or patio, deck, yard, or other outdoor living area. The bright LED-lit panel delivers brilliant, colorful images — whether you're watching in afternoon sunlight or silvery moonlight. The notion of leaving a TV out in the elements takes some getting used to, but this TV is incredibly rugged.

How rugged is it?

This TV's powder-coated aluminum exterior resists heat, cold, and moisture. A multi-fan airflow system keeps the unit cool and dry in temperatures up to 122°F, and this TV will keep performing flawlessly even when the temperature dips to -40°F. In the world of outdoor TVs, SunBriteTV is known for providing both quality and value. Every one of their TVs is designed, engineered and built in California.

You'll find two HDMI inputs for high-def sources like a Blu-ray player and a cable or satellite TV box. There's a standard PC input for your computer, too (great for watching Netflix® or sharing vacation slideshows). SunBriteTV really thought of everything — even the remote control is weatherproof!

To watch HD video sources on your outdoor TV without running cables, check out SunBriteTV's weatherproof wireless HD system.

    Features

    Pro Series Outdoor HDTV: The Pro Series Direct Sun Outdoor LED-LCD HDTV is water-resistant, resilient, and durable. Its guaranteed to function safely and effectively in a wide variety of elements including rain, snow, extreme heat and cold, dust, salt air, and beyond. A tempered glass shield protects the LED-LCD screen in active environments, while direct sun readable EST technology helps guard against isotropic blackout. Its powder-coated aluminum exterior shields internal components while the ultra-bright, full 1080p HD / LED-LCD anti-glare screen delivers exceptional outdoor viewing quality.

    • Powder-Coated Aluminum Exterior: Made for permanent outdoor installation, a powder coated aluminum exterior protects against rust while shielding the internal components from rain, snow, dust, insects, humidity, and salt air.
    • Ultra-Bright, Anti-Reflective Screen: Indoor TVs are designed for lower indoor brightness levels and often feature a high-gloss finish, which can make for a poor outdoor viewing experience. SunBriteTV Pro Series has high temperature tolerant, ultra-bright (700 NIT) professional-grade anti-reflective screen to deliver clear images in brighter outdoor lighting conditions.
    • Enhanced Solar Tolerance (EST): The SunBriteTV Pro Series is direct sunlight readable, featuring high-temperature Enhanced Solar Tolerance (EST) technology to help guard against isotropic blackout (those annoying dark spots that could appear over the screen when it faces the sun).
    • Tempered Glass Shield: A tempered glass shield protects the LED-LCD screen in direct sunlight environments.
    • Thermal-Flow Air Ventilation: A built-in heating and cooling system allows the TV to operate in temperatures from -40 F up to 122 degrees F.
    Note: Indoor TV manufacturers specifically prohibit outdoor use. Installing a display that is independently certified safe for outdoor use helps protect homeowners from harm and installers from liability.

    Built-In OTA Tuner: The Pro Series SunBriteTV has built-in over-the-air HDTV (ATSC) and Digital Cable (QAM) tuners, so you don't need a separate set-top box to receive and decode over-the-air HDTV/SDTV or unencrypted Digital Cable signals. There is a single coaxial RF (f-type) connector to connect your antenna (sold separately).

    Audio/Video Inputs: The Pro Series SunBriteTV is equipped with HDMI, Component, Composite, S-video inputs; along with RCA audio inputs.

    • S-Video: There is one S-video input that supports 480i video only. It shares the same stereo audio RCA input as the composite video input.
    Note: This TV is not 4K or HDR compatible.

    PC Input: A 15-pin HD15 jack allows you to connect your personal computer to the display. There is also a corresponding stereo minijack (3.5mm) for the computer's audio signal. The PC input can accept up to a 1920 x 1080 signal. The TV's HDMI inputs can also be used to connect your computer.

    Weatherproof Cable Entry System: Cable hookups are easy with SunBriteTV's weatherproof cable entry system. Thick gaskets form a compression seal around cables, and the media compartment can accommodate many types of media players and baluns.

    Q
    Does the detachable speaker need to be plugged into an electrical outlet?

    A
    We don't stock the Sunbrite TV models in our warehouse (they're all shipped from Sunbrite directly) and because of that we aren't able to gather as much hands-on research with their models as we have with other TV's that we carry--the info we have doesn't specify if the detachable speaker requires a separate outlet connection or not; but you can contact Sunbrite's Support directly at 800-331-4626 and I'm sure they can tell you for certain one way or the other. I hope that helps. My Bio: http://www.crutchfield.com/Support/Bio.aspx?bio=159
