Consensus
our Verdict
With a tested 1000-nit HDR brightness rating and a 99.82% coverage of the sRGB color gamut, the Sunbrite Veranda 3 a middle of the road choice as the TV gets just bright enough to remain easily visible in a bright outdoor setting.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t have a wide port selection, only consisting of three HDMI and two USB ports. It also boasts a good contrast ratio of 6000:1 for deep blacks and bright whites and a rapid 8ms response time that limits motion blur.
Its wide 178° x 178° viewing angles allow you to view from the side. Overall, the Veranda Series 3 TV’s 1000-nit brightness level is average for outdoor TVs, but its high IP55 resistance protects from weather elements.
ReasonS to Buy
Great picture quality
Courtesy of a category-topping 99.82% coverage of the sRGB gamut, the Veranda TV 3 4K offers vivid visuals, and this, coupled with its 4K resolution, makes content clear and easy to watch.
Average brightness, great contrast rating
With a brightness rating of 1000 nits, the Sunbrite TV Veranda 3 has a pretty average brightness level when compared to our certified, tested TVs, but it does get bright enough to maintain good clarity in well-lit environments. Its contrast ratio, however, tests in the upper half of tested TVs, as blacks are deep and inky.
Rapid response time
Motion blur is severely limited on the Veranda TV 3 4K thanks to an impressive 8ms response time that places it near the top of the category.
Exceptionally low input lag
The Veranda TV 3’s super low 8.6ms input lag makes it one of the most responsive displays in its category.
Reason to Avoid
Low refresh rate
The Veranda TV 3 has a super low 60Hz refresh rate, so it isn’t ideal for fast-action gaming.
Can’t be placed on a stand
This TV is only designed to be mounted, and so it doesn’t include a stand
