Samsung The Terrace 65" Full Sun Neo QLED 4K Outdoor Smart TV

Product Description

The Samsung The Terrace 65-inch Full Sun Neo QLED 4K Outdoor Smart TV (QN65LST9DAFXZA) brings premium picture quality to patios, poolside entertainment areas, outdoor kitchens, and other spaces exposed to direct sunlight. Unlike a conventional indoor television, this 2024 LST9D model is engineered specifically for outdoor use, combining a bright, anti-reflection display with direct-sun protection and an IP56-rated metal enclosure.

Samsung's Quantum Matrix Technology uses precisely controlled Mini LED backlighting to deliver detailed highlights and deep contrast, while the NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor enhances picture quality with 4K AI Upscaling. The 65-inch display also features a native 120Hz refresh rate, Neo Quantum HDR+, and Quantum Dot color technology for sports, movies, and streaming entertainment.

With integrated Samsung Tizen smart TV features, HDMI eARC, and IP and RS-232C control support, The Terrace Full Sun can serve as the centerpiece of a professionally designed outdoor audio/video system.

Engineered for Full-Sun Outdoor Viewing

The Terrace Full Sun is designed for installations where direct sunlight would make an ordinary television difficult to watch. Its outdoor-optimized Neo QLED panel combines high brightness, anti-reflection technology, and wide viewing angles to maintain picture visibility in bright environments.

Built-in direct-sun protection helps safeguard the panel during sunlight exposure. Samsung specifies protection for up to six hours of direct sunlight under defined test conditions of 700 watts per square meter and 104°F. The television may automatically reduce brightness when necessary to protect the display under intense sunlight or high-temperature conditions.

The Full Sun design makes this model suitable for exposed patios, pool areas, and outdoors.

Neo QLED 4K with Quantum Matrix Technology

The Terrace uses Samsung's Quantum Matrix Technology, which controls a dense array of Mini LEDs to improve contrast and brightness across the 4K display. Precise backlight management helps retain detail in dark and bright portions of the picture, particularly when watching content outdoors during daylight hours.

Neo Quantum HDR+ expands the range of visible highlights and shadows, while Quantum Dot technology delivers 100% Color Volume in the DCI-P3 color space. Samsung's Ultimate UHD Dimming and Real Depth Enhancer provide additional contrast processing to create a more dimensional image.

Together, these technologies allow the 65-inch Terrace to reproduce detailed 4K content in lighting conditions that are challenging for conventional televisions.

NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor and 4K AI Upscaling

The NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor powers the LST9D's advanced picture processing. Using 20 AI neural networks, it analyzes incoming content to improve perceived detail, contrast, and image clarity.

Samsung's 4K AI Upscaling enhances lower-resolution sources for presentation on the television's 3840 × 2160 display, making it particularly useful for live sports, broadcast television, and streaming content that is not available in native 4K.

Additional picture features include Auto HDR Remastering, HDR Brightness Optimizer, Motion Xcelerator, and Filmmaker Mode, giving viewers multiple ways to optimize the display for their preferred content.

IP56 Weather-Resistant Construction

The Terrace features a durable metal enclosure with an IP56 rating for dust and water resistance. This rating provides protection against harmful dust ingress and powerful water jets under standardized test conditions.

Its weather-resistant design makes it suitable for permanent outdoor installation, including environments exposed to rain, windblown dust, and occasional poolside splashes. The IP56 rating does not mean the television is waterproof or suitable for submersion.

The television's slim metal construction and narrow bezel also allow it to integrate into contemporary outdoor living spaces without requiring a bulky protective cabinet.

120Hz Refresh Rate and Outdoor Gaming

The Terrace's native 120Hz panel supports smooth motion for fast-paced sports and compatible gaming content. All three HDMI inputs support 4K signals at up to 120Hz, allowing the television to accommodate modern gaming consoles and other high-bandwidth video sources.

Samsung Gaming Hub provides access to supported cloud gaming services, while Auto Low Latency Mode, Variable Refresh Rate, Game Motion Plus, and HGiG support offer additional gaming flexibility.

The combination of high refresh rate, bright Neo QLED picture quality, and weather-resistant construction makes the 65-inch Terrace suitable for outdoor entertainment systems that serve multiple purposes.

Samsung Tizen Smart TV and SmartThings

Samsung's Tizen smart TV platform provides access to compatible streaming services, Samsung TV Plus, and connected entertainment applications. Built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity allow The Terrace to connect to the home network without requiring an external streaming player.

SmartThings compatibility supports integration with compatible connected-home devices, while Apple AirPlay and screen mirroring offer additional ways to share content from mobile devices.

For custom installations, IP control and RS-232C connectivity allow the television to be incorporated into compatible home automation systems. Three HDMI inputs, HDMI eARC, and optical digital audio output provide flexible connectivity for external sources and outdoor audio equipment.

Integrated Audio and Outdoor Sound System Integration

The Terrace includes a built-in 40-watt, four-channel speaker system with Adaptive Sound Pro. This provides convenient onboard audio for everyday viewing, while HDMI eARC and optical digital audio output allow connection to compatible external sound systems.

For larger patios, pool areas, and outdoor entertainment spaces, a professionally designed outdoor audio system can provide more consistent coverage across multiple seating areas. The Terrace can be integrated with weather-resistant speakers, dedicated amplification, and distributed audio equipment as part of a complete outdoor entertainment installation.
