A Look at Samsung’s Outdoor TV, The Terrace
Through Rain or Shine, The Terrace Displays Brilliant 4K Definition
It usually comes down to a choice: spending a beautiful, warm night outside—or indoors watching the next episode of your new favorite show.
But outdoor TVs are changing the game, letting homeowners take their entertainment into the fresh air with completely weatherproof displays. There are a handful of reputable outdoor TV manufacturers on the market, but today we’ll be looking at Samsung’s The Terrace, a display built exclusively for the outdoors.
You may be wondering: are outdoor TVs “worth it”? Read on to see how The Terrace works and can expand your entertainment at home. And to find outdoor entertainment installations in the Dallas, TX area, contact Texadia Systems here.

Protected Against All Elements
It may sound hard to believe, but you don’t need a cover, roof, or canopy to protect your outdoor TV. The Terrace is built air-tight and waterproof with an IP55 rating so that it can stay mounted outdoors all year long. Through heat waves, rainstorms, and even the occasional freeze, it still performs like an indoor TV screen would.
Brighter Screen for Better Visibility
If you’ve ever brought a laptop or tablet outside during the day, you know it’s hard to see what’s on screen under the sun. Glare and diluted colors have long ruined digital experiences outside. But thankfully, Samsung knew that for The Terrace to work outside, the display would need to be much brighter than indoor models.
The Terrace’s screen is ultra-bright with 2,000 nits (units of brightness). For context, most indoor displays are only about 500 nits. At four times brighter, The Terrace shines as bright as a sports stadium screen. So even during the day, you enjoy entertainment to the fullest from the hammock, patio, or even in the pool.
Adaptive Imaging in 4K
The Terrace is built with dazzling QLED 4K technology that Samsung owners may already be familiar with. 4K upscaling automatically minimizes image noise in the frame and restores any lost details in HD or SD videos.
But even 4K video requires special treatment outdoors. The Terrace’s anti-reflective screen adjusts to surrounding light conditions so that during the day, the picture appears more radiant. As the sun sets, the screen gradually lowers its brightness so that it won’t bother viewers’ eyes.
Plus, Outdoor Audio
Want more powerful sound in your backyard—or to spread audio to other areas? Samsung also manufactures an outdoor soundbar to pair with The Terrace. It includes a center channel speaker and subwoofer to bring more dynamic, robust sound to outdoor movie nights.
But if you’d like to expand outdoor audio across the lawn, brands like James Loudspeaker and Origin Acoustics build high-end, weatherproof speakers that can blend into your landscaping. When you work with an audio-video integrator like our team at Texadia Systems, we can connect all your outdoor AV to the same easy-to-control system.
