Why Pick It​

SYLVOX Pool Pro 2.0 TV​

Perched in your space, this television exudes solidity. At a hefty 110 pounds, its weight was a mystery until arrival, but its presence is undeniable now. The craftsmanship is evident—metal housing, a fortress protecting its high-tech innards. Every port is tucked away in a weather-tight compartment, showcasing meticulous attention to durability.

The picture quality? It dazzles. Even in the glaring light of day, it stands firm, its luminosity piercing through full sun without faltering. At night, you might find yourself dialing down the brightness, a testament to its powerful display. Streaming is a breeze with its Wi-Fi capability, and the Android-based apps respond with agility, popping open with ease.

Mounting this titan was surprisingly simple, thanks to a universal outdoor mount. It’s up and ready in minutes—a quick setup for long-lasting entertainment. Adding an Amazon Fire Stick into its weatherproof compartment has expanded my viewing options, seamlessly integrating YouTube TV into my outdoor setup.

The sound bar, though modest with just two speakers, transforms the audio experience. It mounts directly onto the TV using existing screws, integrating smoothly without the clutter of extra hardware. The remote, basic yet functional, had one hiccup—it didn’t sync with the sound bar via traditional codes. However, a Bluetooth connection solved that, cleverly allowing the DirecTV remote to adjust the volume.

SYLVOX Pool Pro Series TV​

The Sylvox TV has proven to be a sterling choice for replacing our previous SunBrite TV, which unfortunately gave up after just four years. This TV arrived at half the price but doesn't skimp on size or features. Its brightness cuts through the glare, delivering a clear picture that's a pleasure to view, whether under the beaming sun or in the soothing shade of our screened porch.

Though the support team seems a bit lackluster, the TV itself has exceeded expectations. It's equipped with all the essential apps, making it a hub of entertainment right at your fingertips. The remote is intuitive, the user interface is straightforward, and the audio quality is quite impressive for an outdoor setting—though, naturally, it can't compete with the acoustics of indoor environments.

After extensive research and some initial skepticism about a lesser-known brand, I was delighted by the quality of the Sylvox TV. The reviews were right—it's bright, barely reflects glare, and is built like a fortress. Setup was a breeze; it instantly connected to WiFi and our outdoor Bluetooth speaker, enhancing our viewing experience with seamless streaming service integration. The picture quality, even in sunlight, is outstanding.

Overall, I'm thoroughly pleased with the Sylvox TV and would not hesitate to choose this brand again for our outdoor entertainment needs. It's a reliable, cost-effective option that promises many seasons of enjoyment.
