Mounting our Spark Outdoor TVs

Mounting our Spark Outdoor TVs

When planning the installation of your new Spark Outdoor TV, mounting will be a big consideration.

Whilst our TVs are different from indoor TVs in some aspects, they share a lot of similarities, including mounting. The Spark range uses a 600x400 VESA mounting system, which is a very common mounting system used on indoor TVs.
One consideration when looking for a mounting system is the maximum load capacity of the mount. As all our TVs are made with galvanised steel and include fan systems to cool the unit down on hot days, they are significantly heavier than indoor TVs, ranging from 22kg to 53kg.

When selecting a mounting system, the primary things to look for are:
  • VESA 600x400 compatible
  • Maximum load capacity greater than the weight of the TV.
For the 65” and 75”, we have tested multiple swivel mounts which claim to be rated up to 60kg, however while these mounts do hold the TV, the mount itself does bow under the weight of the larger models. For the larger models we recommend using fixed wall mounts as these are rated for much higher weight (up to 100kg) and will provide a much more rigid mount.

If you have any questions about which mounts we recommend, get in contact with one of our team and we would be happy to give you recommendations on mounts we have personally tested.

FAQ

What is the difference between an outdoor TV and a regular TV?

Outdoor TVs are built with weatherproof housings, anti-glare screens and much higher brightness so they stay watchable in daylight and survive rain, humidity and temperature swings that would damage an indoor TV.

Can I leave my outdoor TV outside all year?

Yes. Every model in our range is IP55 rated, built to handle Australian conditions year round without needing to be brought inside.

How do I know if I need a full sun or partial sun TV?

If your screen will face direct sunlight for most of the day, choose full sun. If it sits under a patio roof, pergola or gets only a few hours of direct light, partial sun performs just as well for less.

What size outdoor TV should I get?

It depends on your viewing distance and the size of your space. Larger, open areas suit bigger screens; smaller patios often look best with 55 or 65 inch. Use our Help Me Choose tool for a personalised recommendation, or compare sizes side by side.
