can I keep an indoor television outside on my covered patio?

I built an outdoor kitchen and am trying to decide the best type of television to put out there. I'd rather put a good indoor model rather than a junky outdoor model.

1. How about this idea: Get a nice indoor model. Then instead of having it on a permanent entertainment center, purchase a small television stand with wheels such as: http://www.allproducts.com/manufacture98/easy88/Product-20067121455-2.jpg This way on rainy nights or cold nights, or any night really, you can simply and easily wheel it into your house, garage, or closest room to the outdoor patio.
2. There are special TVs you can buy that are primarily used in bathrooms that are water and moisture protected. That is the only type of TV I would suggest for outdoors where weather will definitely be a problem no matter how protected you think your area is. Anything else would be an electrical nightmare.
