TV for the bathroom
Posted on 7/22/19 at 9:30 am

Looking to put a TV in the bathroom across from the bathtub to watch some Netflixes.
Was looking at Sunbrite and OCEA brands which are outdoor TVs and protect against moisture but they are crazy expensive for a 55 inch.
Would it be ok to get a cheaper TV that is not an outdoor TV for the bathroom? The location it would be is about 15 feet from the showers bur I’m sure it would get some moisture.

I wouldn't put a 55" TV in a bathroom. It's just too big unless your bathroom is huge. Max I'd do would be a 40" one. Problem is that you just can't get far away enough to focus on the entire screen.
With the amount of moisture that a bathroom can produce, I'd think hard about it. If you close the door with the fan on, and the mirror fogs up, yeah, I'd go with an outdoor TV. Your bathroom isn't venting that moist air fast enough. If it doesn't fog up, get a regular one

The bathroom is big. Plenty of room for a 55 inch. I have a 55 inch in the bedroom. I could always put it in the bathroom to see if it is too big.
One mirror above one vanity fogs up but the other other vanity mirror does not fog up. There are three doors in there and closing all of them fogs it up but not too bad. Ceiling height is 15 feet. Can you make an indoor TV moisture resistance fairly easy?
I was at my buddies house and he had a indoor TV outside in his balcony that is covered and in full shade. He said as long as it doesn’t rain directly on it then it is fine. His $300 tv has been going good for 3 years under there.

OT ballers do the TV in the mirror. This will become more common place in the future.

I'd test out the 55" TV first to see if you like the size.
The difference between a TV in a bathroom and a TV outside is that the TV in the bathroom can see such a high amount of moisture two or more times a day. That's why I was asking about the mirrors fogging. Yeah, it gets humid outside here, but the wind blows, and humidity is not consistently high.
If the bathroom is big, and you can keep the moisture down (vent on and doors open), go for a regular one. You can also upgrade your vent fan to a higher flow model. If it's always steamy in there, I'd think about getting an outdoor one

Get a regular TV. It will be fine.
I have a cheap normal tv on my back patio that doesn't get rained on and it has handled the humidity just fine.

get a regular tv. I have had TVs in my bathroom for years. Moisture hasn't been a problem. Current TV is almost 6 years old.

Ummm..... is this for real? Holy shite, if so. That’s insane for a bathroom.

Just grab the best one at your price point. We have TV's in multiple bathrooms and never had an issue with a single one. We have a 50" at the end of my wife's tub and with the amount of steam from the constant hot water filling she does you would think it would have been dead years ago. Obviously, any TV in the bathroom should have GFCI protection.
