Coastal Luxury Redefined: As Featured in Mississippi Stages Magazine
Michael and Ashley Campbell's beach estate in Pass Christian, Mississippi, captured the spotlight in the summer issue of Mississippi Stages Magazine, and the feature is less about a screen than about how a single, well-engineered display can pull an entire property together.

The Crown Jewel: A 202-Inch Wall-Mounted Display
The centerpiece of the Campbells' outdoor living space is a massive 202-inch YOLO TV, measuring an incredible 18 feet wide by 9.8 feet tall. Mounted flush against their covered outdoor structure, the display delivers an immediate "wow factor" that transforms the entire estate into a private coastal resort.
Spanning 18' × 9.8', the screen provides a stadium-caliber viewing experience visible across the entire pool area and outdoor lawn.
Daylight-rated brightness keeps the picture vivid and glare-free under intense Gulf Coast sun, while ambient contrast delivers rich cinematic visuals after sunset.
Engineered across an IP65–IP68 weather protection range, matched to the install environment to resist salt air, high humidity, coastal storms, and intense heat, without a protective box or cover.
The Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment Hub
For the Campbell family, the YOLO TV is more than just a large screen, it is the functional hub of their outdoor lifestyle. From daytime watch parties by the pool to evening family movie nights under the stars, the installation delivers an uncompromised viewing experience that brings people together.
A coastal estate already has the ingredients for gathering: water, open space, and a setting that asks people to slow down. What it often lacks is a single focal point that gives everyone a reason to gather in one area. A large-format display becomes that focal point, not by competing with the view, but by giving the view a companion.
Why Coastal Installs Are Different
A coastal install is not the same as an inland backyard install. The Gulf Coast environment brings a combination that inland properties rarely see together: salt air, sustained high humidity, driving rain from tropical systems, and intense reflected light off the water. Each of those attacks a display differently.
Corrodes exposed metal and contacts over time, degrading connections that weren't sealed for permanent exterior use.
Condenses inside enclosures that weren't sealed for permanent exterior use, leading to internal moisture and corrosion.
Hits a screen like a pressure washer, not a gentle splash, demanding real water-jet protection, not just "splash-resistant" marketing.
Light bouncing off the Gulf nearly doubles the ambient brightness the panel has to overcome to stay readable.
A display that survives a covered patio inland can fail quickly on a coastal estate if it was not engineered for that specific environment.
Matching protection to the exposure
This is why a single fixed IP rating does not define every YOLO TV. The cabinet construction, module seals, and structural configuration are matched to the property's orientation and environmental demands. For a coastal install, that means selecting for salt-air resistance, high-humidity sealing, and water-jet protection that holds up through storm-driven rain, without forcing an over-engineered spec onto a project that does not need it.
Sizing a 202-Inch Display to the Property
A 202-inch diagonal is not a screen you choose because it is the biggest available, it is a screen you choose because the property can actually use it. At roughly 18 feet wide, the display needs a viewing distance and a mounting surface that can carry that scale without overwhelming the architecture.
On the Campbell estate, the covered outdoor structure and the depth of the pool deck give the screen room to read as a feature rather than an intrusion. The seating and pool area sit far enough back that the 202-inch image stays comfortable to watch, and the mount keeps the display flush so it integrates with the structure instead of hanging off it.
When a smaller display is the right call
Not every coastal property needs 202 inches. A smaller diagonal, sized to the actual viewing distance and sightlines, often performs better, and costs less, than a screen that is too large for its setting. The right size is an architectural decision, not a budget one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions homeowners ask most.
Yes. YOLO TV outdoor systems are engineered across an IP65–IP68 ingress-protection range, matched to the specific installation environment. For coastal environments, the cabinet construction, module seals, and corrosion-resistant aviation aluminum are selected to resist salt air, humidity, and tropical storms without degrading.
A 202-inch diagonal display measures approximately 18 feet wide by 9.8 feet tall, providing cinema-scale viewing for large pool decks, lawns, and outdoor entertaining spaces.
Yes. YOLO TV's standard outdoor systems deliver approximately 6,000 nits of brightness, with configurations available from 4,000 to 7,000 nits, so the display overcomes intense direct sunlight and reflections without needing an enclosure or protective glass box.
Size to the viewing distance and sightlines, not to the budget. A comfortable viewing distance is roughly 1.5× the screen height. A display that is too large for its setting dominates the architecture; one that is too small wastes the install.
Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction and installation type. Wall, pole, structural, electrical, and Rise™ installations may be subject to local permitting or engineering requirements. YOLO TV provides the applicable display and installation specifications for your contractor, engineer, or permitting authority.
