Samsung 65" The Terrace Partial Sun Outdoor TV – NeoQLED 4K IP56-Rated

Product Overview

The Samsung 65-inch The Terrace Partial Sun Outdoor TV (QN65LST7DAFXZA) is an IP56-rated NeoQLED 4K display purpose-built for permanent outdoor installation in shaded and partially shaded environments. Designed for commercial hospitality, institutional, and entertainment venue applications, this display combines weather-rated engineering with NeoQLED 4K picture quality to deliver reliable outdoor display performance without the cost of full-sun-rated models in shade-protected locations. It is optimized for covered patios, pergola structures, outdoor dining areas, and building-shaded outdoor spaces.

Product Description

The LST7D Partial Sun series addresses the most common permanent outdoor AV installation scenario: a covered or partially shaded outdoor space where direct solar exposure is limited to brief periods or specific hours. Samsung has engineered this display specifically for these conditions, providing elevated brightness for outdoor ambient light levels while maintaining the IP56 weather protection needed for year-round outdoor operation.

NeoQLED 4K performance is delivered through Samsung's Quantum Matrix Mini LED backlighting and NQ4 AI Gen2 processor, producing 4K imagery with high contrast and color accuracy across the full 65-inch panel. Neo Quantum HDR+ applies dynamic tone-mapping for accurate highlight and shadow detail across streaming, broadcast, and digital signage content. The outdoor anti-reflection treatment reduces glare from ambient sky light and indirect sun exposure.

Samsung's Tizen OS provides access to streaming applications and Samsung TV Plus, while SmartThings integration enables building automation connectivity for scheduled operation. Dolby Atmos audio output provides integrated spatial audio for outdoor environments. For AV integrators specifying commercial outdoor displays, this model is available at Creation Networks alongside the 75-inch and 85-inch Terrace models and compatible outdoor mounting hardware.
