I figured even if it does I could replace the thing 6 times before I spent the same amount as I would on a similar Terrace. So far it's lasted two years, so we'll see.

Ya I know. It was a splurge, and I had friends who did very similar to you with a less expensive tv that you could buy ten over before a terrace, but they all said not loud enough and glare is an issue. My tv won't see much weather, but where it is with a heavy enough rain water can rush off that roof so did the "buy once, cry once". And I didn't need any kind of sound bar and there is no glare. You can see it at any angle. Texas gets hot, so was worried about overheating too. But two years on an indoor tv that lives outside. That's impressive.
