Meet Brian Bachman, Founding Partner of YOLO TV

YOLO TV did not start as a consumer TV company. It started with a simple observation: the displays being mounted outside were never built to live outside.

Brian Bachman, founding partner of YOLO TV, spent years working with large-format commercial LED, the kind of panels used in stadiums, command centers, and concert stages. That work made one thing obvious: the technology to build a true outdoor display already existed. What did not exist was a company willing to engineer it for a residential backyard and stand behind it for years.

From Commercial LED to the Backyard

The gap Brian saw was structural. Consumer "outdoor" TVs were indoor panels dropped into a weather-resistant box. They washed out in sun, failed in storms, and were replaced as whole units every few years. The commercial LED he worked with was the opposite, modular, daylight-bright, and field-serviceable.

YOLO TV was built to bring that engineering standard to the luxury residential market.

The Standard the Company Was Built On

That founding experience shaped every specification YOLO TV still holds to:

• Brightness that is measured, not marketed: approximately 6,000 nits standard, with configurations from 4,000 to 7,000 nits.
• Weather sealing that is certified, not implied: IP65–IP68 matched to the install environment.
• Serviceability that is modular, not disposable: field-replaceable tiles, not whole-unit replacement.

YOLO TV outdoor displays are engineered specifically for demanding outdoor environments. Our standard outdoor systems deliver approximately 6,000 nits of brightness, with configurations available from 4,000 to 7,000 nits based on the application. Recommended brightness depends on factors such as screen orientation, direct sun exposure, viewing time, pixel pitch, geographic location, and intended use.

Outdoor systems are available with IP65–IP68 ingress-protection ratings, depending on the specific display configuration and installation environment. Ingress-protection requirements can vary based on cabinet and module construction, system configuration, installation environment, and the level of weather protection required.

A Warranty Built to Mean Something

The 5-Year Peace of Mind Parts Warranty is a direct reflection of that commercial-LED background. Modular components can be replaced individually without replacing the entire display, so a long warranty is not a gamble, it is engineering.

Every YOLO TV residential display is backed by our industry-leading 5-Year Peace of Mind Parts Warranty. Covered YOLO TV components are protected for five years, and because our LED systems are modular, many parts can be replaced individually without replacing the entire display. On-site service, technician travel, shipping, and third-party labor may be separate unless specifically included in your agreement.

Why the Founder's Background Matters to the Buyer

When the person who specified the display is the person who installed commercial LED for a living, the product is built to a different standard. The brightness is real, the sealing is certified, and the warranty is backed by components designed to outlast it.

That is the difference between a company that sells outdoor TVs and one that engineers them to stay outdoors.
