Using a TV outdoors isn’t a new concept, but few TV makers made them to be weatherproof. That is, until just a few years ago, when the outdoor TV gained traction. While there were a handful of companies making enclosures for TVs, the big names weren’t really in that business. Now, we have the Samsung Terrace Outdoor TV line.

The Terrace Outdoor TV was first introduced in 2020 and since then, they’ve had some improvements, but this year the improvements are significant. Literally, the biggest improvement is the new 85″ size option. Designed for direct sun protection, the Terrace Outdoor delivers outdoor-optimized picture quality, with a Neo QLED 4K screen that can stay bright even on the sunniest days.
“Years ago, TVs were reserved for your living room, either mounted on the wall or in an entertainment center. However, just as people are evolving what they watch and how they watch TV, they are also expanding where they watch. We’re seeing a greater demand for TVs that can be experienced from a variety of non-traditional places, such as while camping, on the ceiling, or even in the great outdoors.”
“The Terrace makes it easy to enjoy your favorite shows, movies, and games – now, on an ultra-large screen – while outside in your backyard,” said James Fishler, Senior Vice President, Home Entertainment & Display Division, Samsung Electronics America. “The Terrace series has also become one of the stars in the Samsung CI portfolio, so it’s only fitting that we’re debuting our largest and best spec’d outdoor TV at the biggest CI event of the year. We can’t wait for attendees to check it out.”
Here are the key features of the new Samsung 85″ Terrace Outdoor Neo QLED 4K TV:

Plus, it sports an improved IP56 rating that assures protection from water and dust, so you can enjoy your favorite entertainment year-round. The Terrace is complete with a Wide Viewing Angle and Anti-Glare screen that make it easy to watch what you love with nearly no reflections or distractions.
