New Outdoor TVs From France Just in Time for the World Cup
French manufacturer WeMoove has introduced new outdoor smart TVs just in time for the upcoming start of the FIFA World Cup. The Vivaldi Series 4000 uses QLED+ technology and is designed for watching soccer and other content outdoors. Their engineers were certain that bright sunshine shouldn’t ruin your viewing pleasure, so they made these sets for harsh conditions.
Five Sizes Available But Not Exactly Cheap
The new outdoor TV series is available in five sizes from 43 to 86 inches, corresponding to screen diagonals from a compact 43 inches to a huge 86 inches. Prices range between $4,600 and $14,800. European customers can order these sets directly from the manufacturer, although availability is limited. For example the 86-inch model will set you back a whopping $14,800 which is alot of money for a television.
Weather Proofing and Display Technology
The TVs for gardens, balconies, and similar outdoor spaces are therefore not exactly cheap. In return, they are not only protected against snow, rain, and wind under IP55 certification and designed for year-round outdoor use, but also offer modern technology. According to the manufacturer, QLED+ delivers color depth, contrast, and rich blacks. This means you can enjoy vibrant colors even when the sun is beeming down on the screen during a summer barbecue.
Brightness and Audio Specs Are Impressive
Brightness is another key factor when using a TV outdoors. In this regard, the manufacturer promises up to 4,000 nits for the 4K UHD panel. Audio is handled by two 15-watt speakers. The Vivaldi Series 4000 is powered by a quad-core processor clocked at up to 1.5 GHz, along with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of flash storage. Those speakers might not be enought for a noisy backyard party though, so you may want to consider external sound.
Software and Connectivity Options
Google TV 3.0 is used as the OS, providing access to countless apps such as Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and YouTube. For connectivity, several HDMI ports are available in addition to Wi-Fi, among others. However, these are not HDMI 2.1 ports, which are particularly relevant for gamers, but only HDMI 2.0. A wall mount is included in the box. WeMoove clearly target soccer fans for there World Cup viewing parties but gamers might be dissapointed about the lack of newer ports.
