Posted this on the Nerdery, but wanted to see if the OB had any input:

I recently remodeled the back patio and was looking to add a place to watch TV in the back and have friends over to watch football, etc. I have been looking into building a cabinet for a tv, but I have a concern about protecting it from the weather. Not only from rain, but also from condensation buildup inside the cabinet. Also, I would like to be able to take it with me for Aggie tailgating and camping trips, if at all possible.
The other day, I saw a projector at the AT&T store that caught my attention. My thought is that I could build a shelf that hangs off the ceiling of the patio to put the projector up high and out of the way and have it project on a portable screen. Then I could unplug it when not in use to keep it out of the weather. Also, it would be a lot easier to transport for camping and tailgating. My two biggest concerns with the projector are the amount of space needed to get a decent size picture, and ability to see on bright days since the picture is being projected instead of backlit.
Just wondering if anyone on here has done this and if they think a projector would be a viable option
