Roku just announced its first 4K TV, developed in collaboration with the Element electronics logo. The Roku Outdoor Element TV has some pretty impressive specs, display technology, and perhaps most striking of all, an incredible temperature threshold at which the TV can operate.
Announced by Roku’s official blog (opens in a new tab), the Roku Outdoor Element TV is a 55-inch 4K TV (currently, that’s the only length available) and can be purchased at Walmart for $1,299 (around $1,049/AU$1,849).
A Roku spokesperson showed LaComparacion that the TV “is only found in the U. S. “He added that other stores will sign up for Walmart to promote the Roku Outdoor Element TV “in the coming weeks. “
This price makes the TV a little less expensive than most of the most productive 4K TVs on the market, adding the LG C2 and Samsung QN95B. While being more doesn’t mean the Roku Outdoor Element TV is lagging behind in terms of specs.
The TV has an ultra-bright display that, according to Roku, is about two and a half times brighter than popular 4K TVs. Most importantly, its anti-glare display provided by Element deserves to be suitable for outdoor viewing, especially on hot summer days. summer months that we are about to enter.
Add in HDR10 and, of course, the built-in Roku OS, and Roku Outdoor Element TV may be something you should keep in mind if you like the concept of outdoor viewing, or if you’re just looking for something a little different. of the standard.
It looks like it’s a high-performance 4K TV, but perhaps the most impressive detail of Roku’s outdoor TV is its wide temperature threshold. Roku notes that the TV can withstand temperatures between -4°F (-20°C). ) and 104°F (40°C).
If this is true, it means that the Roku Outdoor Element TV deserves to perform well in fairly high conditions. Obviously, we would be wrong on an overly cautious basis here, and wholeheartedly recommend not exposing a beloved 4K TV to such delicate things. .
But that means that, barring an excessive climate catastrophe, it’s worth leaving the TV outdoors all year round. As long as you are adequately covered from rain and thunderstorms, of course. Although the TV frame is made of a resistant climate-metal, it will have to be sufficiently protected from light rain, snowfall or even splashes of water.
