Furrion Aurora - Partial Sun Series 49-Inch Weatherproof 4K Ultra-High Definition LED Outdoor Television with Auto-Brightness Control for Outdoor Entertainment - FDUP49CBR

This is a combined review of a 65” Furrion partial sun outdoor TV, 70 Watt Aurora 2.1 soundbar, 65” outdoor cover and Universal Outdoor full motion TV wall mount. All products are from Furrion and intended to work together, which they largely do, but there’s a few items I will point out in my summary.Overall summary – VERY SATISFIED1. The outdoor picture is FANTASTIC. It exceeded our expectations. We don’t watch in the direct sun a lot but with a bit of shade, and in the evening, it is perfectly clear. (we connect wireless and use Roku stick)2. While the TV sound isn’t bad, we connected the soundbar to it, which was very easy to do, and that sound is so much better than just the TV sound. An added benefit of the soundbar is you can change the source to bluetooth and connect your mobile device to it if you just wanted to play music.3. We purchased the universal mount, which if installed properly into wall studs, is very secure. This is needed to swivel the TV for side viewing, but also to secure the cover and work on the wire connections.4. The cover fits nicely and easy to get on, although standing on a step ladder or small table makes it easier.A few areas for improvement:1. The TV and soundbar have separate remotes and you need both to turn on the TV and also the sound. If you also use a Roku stick like we do, you need three remotes. (I have not looked into a universal remote yet)2. The connection ports for the TV and sound bar are on opposite sides and you need to run the wires across the back. If you don’t like any wires showing, it takes some work to hide them.3. The connectors for the soundbar are only coaxial. The sound quality is good, but surprised they used older technology for sound connections.4. Universal mount – I think without this where you can easily swivel out the TV, it would be very difficult to access the wire connections or put the cover on/off. I could be wrong, but I believe the other mount is set to a fixed angle when the TV is installed.5. (I forgot to add this other key point when I wrote my initial review). If you're going to use a Roku or Chromecast device, then when watching the TV, especially if it's hot or sunny out, then keep the compartment door OPEN. My Roku stick overheated and the picture had blemishes on it, and I thought the TV had a problem, but it was the overheating because it was not getting an air with the door closed. This is another reason for the swivel mount, but not too hard to reach back and open or close the door. Just don't forget to close it to protect against the rain.Overall, we are extremely happy and my wife is using it much more than even she thought she would! I am leaving it outside all winter, but brought in the soundbar and all the wires. We may get some temps in the 10-20degrees F here in the northeast, but the TV is equipped to handle that. If there is a problem next spring when I turn it on, I’ll update my review.

I have been watching for sales on outdoor tv's, but everything usually is in the $3,500+ range for 55" Partial Sun TV's. This model is great! Even though it isn't a Smart TV it is easy to get around that. I just purchased the Roku small stick and it works like a charm. The picture is great and very low glare during the day. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the sound is terrible. I did buy the Furrion sound bar which sounds really good, but for some reason, you can't program to use just one remote. Also, Furrion isn't remote compatible with the Roku, however, just download the app and that works perfect!

Tv is great. Picture is good, brightness is perfect (though it’s on a tree shaded patio) and can watch it all day. It’s certainly waterproof and has all the connections you need. The sound is bad, and the sound bar isn’t great either, but being able to leave it outdoors all the time and not worry about weather is incredible

The control board stopped working on this TV 18 months after I bought it. It was an expensive TV, so I expected it to last longer. I called Furrion and was told that it was outside of the warranty period, so there was nothing they could, or would do. If this was a cheap TV, I wouldn't be so disappointed, but this was not cheap at all.My recommendation is to:1- Be cautious of spending a lot of money on products from Furrion as they don't seem to last very long.2- Customer service for Furrion was not helpful at all (for me at least), so be cognizant of that as well.

Installed tv poolside 2 weeks ago to be able to view from hot tub or while in pool. I get full sun from 6-11 am in are and partial sun the remainder of the day. The product fulfilled its promise as a partial sun tv where I had no problems seeing images and no glare in partial sun environment. Unit has take rain multiple times no problems. Seems solidly built. At almost 1/2 price of competitors I think it’s worth a look from consumers. Picture quality is all I need it to be. I have Streamed through fire hd and Apple TV on it so far.

The picture is good and bright enough to overcome the sun shining in on my patio from the west. The next level up tv wouldn't hurt as it's a little brighter but expensive. This is not a smart TV so you will need a Roku or similar device. Get the sound bar. It's also a Bluetooth speaker. While you don't get deep bass out of it, the sound is a hundred times better than the built-in speakers.

We received our tv a few weeks ago and began enjoying our favorite binge worthy shows on the deck. We love the picture quality but the sound is a bit low. We will get a sound bar to help with this but overall we are very pleased so far with this purchase.

Bought in June 2021. Since then many new models from other manufacturer have entered market. When I bought it, Furrion appeared to be the best quality product for the price. We use it regularly on our outdoor patio. Day and night. Bought partial sun model and picture quality is good in relationship to sun/outdoor but not used to 720p resolution. The sound SUCKS. Barely audible at full volume from 6 ft. Had to buy a separate sound bar. After 2 months remote gave out also. Going to stick with it for now due to investment made, but will definitely look at others down the road as more come out with models and prices come down.
