TVs for the bathroom: features and recommendations for choosing

Recently, more and more people care about the decor in their home. Of course, residents of apartments and houses want beautiful rooms and premises with an unusual or original design. A bathroom can be considered such a part of the house, because it can be nicely decorated with tiles and modern equipment. Including TV. Consider what they are and how to choose them.

It is worth noting that the installation of a television receiver is not suitable for every type of bathroom. If there is little space in it, then it will simply be uncomfortable for you to watch TV shows. In those cases where the installation of the TV is available, this can be a great design decision.

TVs for the bathroom are made according to special criteria that will preserve the equipment in integrity when in a room with a lot of moisture. The main difference from simple analogues is moisture resistance.

Not quite a happy feature for the buyer is the price. It is much higher than conventional TVs, because they do not have moisture protection. For conditions in the bathroom you need to overpay. If possible, do not try to buy models that are too cheap, 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 consider certain nuances.

• Dimensions. They should be chosen in accordance with the size of the room. It makes little sense to take an oversized TV into a small bathtub and vice versa. The TV should be visible almost everywhere from the room, so when choosing the dimensions, proceed from the bathroom device.
• Acoustics. A very important thing, as it affects the distribution of sound throughout the room. If you can’t always see the screen, then with the help of high-quality acoustics you will have the opportunity to hear everything. If the sound system built into the television receiver does not suit you, you can purchase specialized speakers. Conventional ones will not work, as the speaker structure may contain paper. If it becomes damp, the sound will be of poor quality.

The special speaker system has the function of protection against large amounts of moisture, which is great for the bathroom. Choose speakers so that the sound is surround, not straightforward. So you 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 indicator of the viewing angle, you can see a clear picture only when you are in front of the screen. Optimal angles are considered indicators from 176 to 180 degrees. All curved and plasma panels have such characteristics.
• Moisture protection level. The most important indicator, since the entire operation of the TV depends on it. The default value is IP65. Equipment with this value can withstand splashes, jets and vertical drops. If this is not enough for you and you want to completely protect the device, then the degree of moisture resistance should be IP68 and higher. Such units can withstand complete immersion in water, so under any circumstances, water will not damage the TV.
• Additional functions. Pay attention to the most basic characteristics of the TV. Modern models have the Smart TV function, which allows you to connect the Internet or other devices to the television. This is a very nice bonus for those who like to watch not only TV, but also video on the Internet.

The initial installation option. One of the most common types of installation, which is used not only in the bathroom. The whole structure rests on 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 where you want.

A modern type of installation, which has great functionality and is more beautiful than a 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 television is turned off, the screen will become transparent. Thus, you can place two things in one place.

The acoustics of such devices are often also remote, so it is mounted in a wall or ceiling. There are many design options for framing such televisions so that the entire design is combined with the interior.

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