Outdoor movie night? Discover how the Samsung The Terrace TV and Samsung The Terrace sound bar can help you transform your patio, deck, or poolside area into an immersive home theatre.
What makes Samsung The Terrace TV ideal for outdoor viewing?
Samsung The Terrace outdoor TV lineup is designed for outdoor viewing. Imagine watching a movie or live sports in the afternoon when the sun is high up—the intense glare and washout picture quality could make it difficult to see the screen. Unlike indoor TVs, outdoor setups need to perform not only in direct light, but also heat and changing weather. The Terrace is engineered with those challenges in mind. It gives you the brightness, durability, and smart features needed to turn your backyard into a reliable entertainment space.
Rated full sun or partial sun
Samsung The Terrace outdoor TVs let you enjoy your TV screen even in very bright environments, without the image getting washed out. From partial sun to full sun TVs, choose the best brightness rating to get the best possible picture quality based on your outdoor layout.
Often with 500–1000 nits brightness level, partial sun TVs are designed for shaded or covered outdoor areas, like patios or pergolas. Full sun TVs, on the other hand, are built for open spaces with direct sun exposure and feature over 1,000 nits brightness level so the picture stays clear and vibrant even under intense daylight.
Samsung The Terrace LST7D partial sun outdoor TV
Great addition to your covered patios, pergolas, gazebos, or verandas, these models like the Samsung The Terrace 55″ LST7D Series, are best suited for bright environments with some shade where they offer impressive picture quality.
Samsung The Terrace LST9D full sun outdoor TV
If your setup is in an open area—like a poolside patio or uncovered deck—a full sun model like the Samsung The Terrace 75″ LST9D Series, is built to handle direct sunlight. That means you can watch a late afternoon hockey game without squinting at a washed-out screen.
Ultra-bright Neo QLED picture quality
Picture this: it’s early summer evening, the sky is still bright, and you’re streaming a movie with darker scenes. With Samsung’s Ultra-bright Neo QLED picture quality, colours stay vibrant, details remain sharp, and contrast holds up—even when the sun is working against you. On a typical screen, you might lose detail in shadows. Neo QLED technology improves on traditional QLED with Mini-LED backlighting that uses much smaller LEDs. This allows for more precise light control, delivering better brightness, sharper contrast, and finer detail.
It’s the kind of upgrade that makes outdoor viewing feel just as immersive as your indoor setup.
Built-in smart TV experience
With Samsung’s Tizen OS, you can jump straight into Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, and your other favourite subscription-based streaming apps without plugging in anything extra. Hosting a backyard movie night? Just power it on and start streaming. You can also mirror content from your phone, queue up playlists, or even switch to a quick gaming session when friends come over.
Plus with the built-in SmartThings hub, you can manage and control smart devices directly from your TV. For example, you can adjust colours of compatible smart lights and set the mood while you watch a movie at the veranda.
Weather protection with IP56 durability
Outdoor conditions can be unpredictable, but Samsung The Terrace is built to handle them. With an IP56 rating, it’s designed to resist dust, rain, and humidity. It can also operate in temperatures up to 50°C, so whether it’s a heatwave or a damp evening, your TV is ready to perform.
NQ4 AI Gen2 processor for optimized 4K performance
At the core is Samsung’s NQ4 AI Gen2 processor, which enhances everything you watch in 4K. Whether you’re streaming movies, watching live sports, or gaming, the processor uses AI to optimize picture quality in real time—improving clarity, contrast, and detail. The result is a consistently sharp and vibrant viewing experience, even with varying outdoor lighting conditions.

Immerse in great sound with the Samsung The Terrace outdoor sound bar
Great picture deserves equally great sound—especially outdoors, where audio can easily get lost in open space. Samsung The Terrace sound bar is specifically engineered for outdoor environments. So you can hear everything clearly even with background noise like wind, conversation, or traffic.
3.0-channel sound bar with built-in woofers
Perfect with the Samsung Terrace outdoor TV, this 210W sound bar has dedicated centre channel. It helps keep dialogue crisp and easy to follow even with the ambient noise outside. It also packs built-in woofers, delivering deep, punchy bass. So whether it’s the rumble of a movie soundtrack or the beat of your favourite playlist, you’ll feel the difference.
Wide-range tweeters
To make sure sound carries evenly across your space, the sound bar uses wide-range tweeters that project audio consistently. So whether you’re sitting directly in front of the TV or off to the side, you’re not missing anything.
Distortion Cancelling technology
Samsung also includes Distortion Cancelling technology, which actively reduces audio distortion before it happens. The result is cleaner, more detailed sound, even at higher volumes.
IP55 rating
And just like the TV, it’s built to handle the outdoors. With an IP55 rating, the sound bar is protected against dust and water, so it keeps performing reliably—even when the weather isn’t perfect.
You can plug your outdoor sound bar into your outdoor TV’s HDMI port and use the One Remote Control option to control your TV and your sound bar at the same time. It includes both a wall mount and a TV mount kit, so if you have your TV mounted on your exterior wall you can also mount your sound bar there too.

The best way to watch TV (in your backyard)
Watching a movie under the evening sky or catching a game outdoors creates a different kind of viewing experience. Play the kids’ favourite cartoons in the morning. Binge-watch a show while relaxing in the afternoon. Or catch a late-day game with friends as the light starts to fade. The open setting also gives you more flexibility to watch comfortably with friends and family.
If you’re thinking about adding a TV to your outdoor space, it’s worth choosing one that’s designed for it. Samsung The Terrace TV is built to handle bright conditions and exposure to the elements—areas where regular indoor TVs tend to struggle. Pair it with the Samsung The Terrace sound bar, and you get audio that’s also optimized for open spaces, so dialogue stays clear and sound carries more effectively.
