The verdict
Suitable for a shaded porch or covered patio where an indoor TV would not survive. Buyers should read the brightness figure as a manufacturer claim, since earlier Veranda generations measured much dimmer in independent tests, and should not expect it to cope with direct sun. Compare against SunBrite's full-sun lines if the screen will see sunlight.
The Veranda 4 is SunBriteTV's current full-shade outdoor television, sold in 49, 55, 65 and 75-inch sizes. It has an IP55 weather-rated powder-coated aluminum body, a 60Hz 4K HDR10 panel and the maker's claimed 600 nits of sustained full-screen brightness. It is meant for covered patios and porches, not direct sun. It replaces the earlier Veranda 3, which no longer appears on SunBrite's Veranda category page. No independent lab test of this generation was found.
Strengths
- IP55 weather rating with a powder-coated aluminum enclosure
- Claimed 600 nits sustained brightness, which SunBrite says is a large step up on the previous generation
- Anti-glare screen suited to covered outdoor spaces
- Built-in webOS smart platform, plus AirPlay 2 and Chromecast screen mirroring
- Optional all-weather soundbar can be powered from the TV
- Two-year residential warranty
Weak spots
- Designed for full shade only; not meant for direct sunlight
- 60Hz panel with HDR10 only, no Dolby Vision listed
- No independent lab review of this generation was found, so brightness is unverified
- Priced several times higher than indoor TVs of the same size
- The 49 and 55-inch pages omit some details such as VESA patterns
Great for
- Covered patios and porches
- Installers wanting a weather-rated TV with a media bay
Skip if
- Full-sun decks and pool areas
- Shoppers who want Dolby Vision or 120Hz gaming

Picture
- Display technologyHow the screen makes its picture. OLED types light each pixel on their own for perfect black. Mini LED and QLED are LCDs with a backlight, and tend to get brighter.
- LED-LCD
- Panel notes
- SunBrite lists an LG Display UHD panel with an RGBW (M+) LED screen and 'Eco Bright' RGB-W technology.
- BacklightFull-array backlights sit behind the whole screen and allow local dimming. Edge-lit TVs are thinner but dim far less precisely.
- Direct-lit
- Resolution
- 4K
- Screen finishAnti-glare and matte coatings cut reflections in bright rooms, sometimes at a small cost to perceived contrast.
- Anti-glare screen coating, per SunBrite
HDR & color
- HDR formatsHDR formats describe how a TV should show bright highlights and rich color. Dolby Vision and HDR10+ adjust the picture scene by scene; a source and TV must both support a format to use it.
- HDR10
Refresh & motion
- Native refresh rateHow many new images per second the panel can really show. Marketing “motion rates” are often double this number, so check the native figure.
- 60 Hz

What weather protection does it have?
SunBrite lists an IP55 rating and a powder-coated aluminum exterior. It lists an operating range of 32 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit.
Is the 600-nit brightness figure independently measured?
