Is this TV bright enough for direct sun?

It is designed for covered patios and shaded areas. In full direct sunlight the picture washes out, so a shaded spot works best.

Does it need to be mounted?

No. It comes on a rolling stand, so you can place it anywhere with a flat surface and power.

It runs Google TV, so you get the usual streaming apps, voice search and Chromecast built in.

It is built for outdoor use, but a cover and a sheltered spot will extend its life in rain and cold.

Those are brighter, fixed outdoor TVs. This one gives up some brightness for a lower-cost, movable setup.
