Bathroom TVs: features and recommendations for choosing

Recently, more and more people are taking care of the decor in their home. Of course, residents of apartments and houses want to have beautiful rooms and premises with an unusual or original design. The bathroom can be considered such a part of the house, because it can be beautifully decorated with tiles and modern appliances can be arranged. Including a TV. Let's consider what they are and how to choose them.

It is worth noting that installing a TV receiver is not suitable for every type of bathroom. If there is not much space in it, then it will be simply uncomfortable for you to watch TV programs. Where a TV setup is available, this can be a great design solution.

Bathroom TVs are made according to special criteria that will keep the appliances intact when placed in a room with a lot of moisture... The main difference from simple analogs is moisture resistance.

Not a very pleasant feature for the buyer can be called the price. It is much higher than that of conventional TVs, because they are not waterproof. You have to pay extra for the conditions of being in the bathroom. If possible, do not try to purchase too cheap models, because their assembly may not be of the highest quality. In the worst case, you will be left without a TV, and without money.

To make the right choice, you need to take into account certain nuances.

• Dimensions (edit)... They should be chosen in accordance with the size of the room. There is little point in taking an oversized TV into a small bathtub and vice versa. The TV should be visible from almost anywhere in the room, so when choosing dimensions, proceed from the bathroom design.
• Acoustics. This is a very important thing, as it affects the propagation of sound throughout the room. If you cannot always see the screen, then with the help of well-selected acoustics you will be able to hear everything. If the sound system built into the TV receiver does not suit you, then you can purchase specialized speakers. Normal ones will not work as the speaker structure may contain paper. If it gets damp, then the sound will be of poor quality.

The special speaker system has a function of protection against large amounts of moisture, which is great for the bathroom. Select your speakers so that the sound is surround rather than straightforward. This way you can hear the TV show from everywhere.

• Viewing angle. A criterion that is important not only for the bathroom. The fact is that with a small viewing angle indicator, you can see a clear picture only when you are in front of the screen. The optimal angles are considered indicators from 176 to 180 degrees. All curved and plasma panels have these characteristics.
• Moisture protection level. The most important indicator, since the entire operation of the TV depends on it. The standard value is the protection level IP65. Equipment with this value can withstand splashes, jets and vertical drops. If this is not enough for you and you want to completely secure the device, then the degree of moisture resistance should be IP68 or higher. Such units can withstand full immersion under water, so under any circumstances, water will not damage the TV.
• Additional functions. Pay attention to the very primary characteristics of the TV. Modern models have a Smart TV function that allows you to connect the Internet or other devices to the TV set. This is a very nice bonus for those who like to watch not only TV, but also video on the Internet.

Initial installation option. One of the most common types of installation, which is used not only in the bathroom. The whole structure is supported by several brackets. The main advantage is the ability to move the equipment to any convenient place, just remove the TV from the bracket and install it where you want.

A modern type of installation, which has great functionality and at the same time is more beautiful than the hinged version. The TV is installed in a wall niche or behind a glass surface. The main advantage is the ability to use both a TV and a mirror. When the TV is turned off, the screen will become transparent. This way you can place two things in one place.

The acoustics of such devices are often also remote, so they are mounted in walls or ceilings. There are many design options for framing these TVs to complement the interior.

It combines the two previous types of installation at once. This approach is good for those who are going to make renovations in the bathroom in the future. It is not very convenient to immediately embed a TV, and then change the interior of the room. Therefore, you can mount the TV on the wall, and after repair, install it in a wall niche or glass surface.
