It seems that good weather is approaching, the days are longer and you want to enjoy free time outdoors.\u00a0With the lockdown, rents and sales of terraced homes have skyrocketed.\u00a0So if you are one of those lucky ones, we recommend the Samsung The Terrace. A\u00a0Samsung<\/a>\u00a0model\u00a0developed specifically for outdoor use, being\u00a0resistant to dust and water.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0Samsung 65LST7T , also known as Samsung The Terrace increases the usual brightness level of these panels for correct outdoor viewing.\u00a0The special treatment of the screen prevents direct reflections from the sun so you don’t miss a single detail.\u00a0In addition, it maintains 100% reproduction of the DCI-p3 color spectrum.\u00a0We review the rest of its characteristics in our analysis.<\/p>\n

Design and materials<\/h2>\n

Samsung once again opens a new path in the market with its Samsung Terrace line.\u00a0Models specifically designed for\u00a0outdoor environments such\u00a0as gardens, terraces or shops.\u00a0It is true that any television would be worth to place outside, but as we will see, its design and technical characteristics make this model the most suitable for it.\u00a0As we have already mentioned, The Terrace TV resists exposure to sun, air, dust and water;\u00a0thus it obtains an\u00a0IP55 certification,\u00a0very rare to see on a television.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

IP55 resistance to water jets and harmful dust ingress<\/p>\n

On an aesthetic level, it largely reminds us of its Samsung The Frame line, such as the\u00a0Samsung 50LS030A\u00a0.\u00a0The body of the TV features a\u00a01.8 cm bezel\u00a0frame\u00a0and its thickness is 5.9 cm.\u00a0Perhaps a slimmer model like other QLED models could be expected, but by offering a compact and watertight body, this measure is necessary.\u00a0We also notice it in the\u00a0weight that reaches 38.9 kg.\u00a0To withstand the elements, Samsung has opted for a high-quality metal finish, good finishes and in black.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Intended only for wall mounting with VESA mount, not included<\/p>\n

By the way, this Samsung 65LST7T does not include a stand, so it will be necessary to place it on the wall with a VESA 400 \u00d7 400 bracket.\u00a0Perhaps this is inconvenient as it is not included in the box.\u00a0We do have the usual Samsung metallic remote with a built-in microphone.\u00a0However, it is also prepared for everything that can happen outside and is now IP65 certified.<\/p>\n

Image quality<\/h2>\n

Many of us take the television outside when we prepare a barbecue in the garden.\u00a0However, when we pay attention we notice that, in general, we will not be able to see it correctly in full sun.\u00a0This happens because the panels are not prepared to provide the appropriate level of brightness or withstand reflections of light rays.\u00a0That’s not counting the problems of an indoor TV to handle unpredictable weather.<\/p>\n

The Terrace LST7T television carries everything that we can find in other high-end Samsung QLEDs inside it.\u00a0Therefore, we have a\u00a065-inch\u00a0panel\u00a0with a 4K UHD resolution,\u00a0obtaining a pixel density of 68 dpi.\u00a0This VA panel incorporates a\u00a0Direct Full Array Plus\u00a0backlight\u00a0,\u00a0a back lighting system that balances the intensity of colors and the depth of dark tones, obtaining an improved level of contrast.<\/p>\n

With adaptive brightness sensor, anti-reflective matte finish and brightness of up to 2,000 nits<\/p>\n

Another highlight of the Samsung The Terrace QE65LST7T lies in its brightness level. Its backlighting system takes off up to\u00a02,000 nits.\u00a0Therefore, we achieve vibrant scenes with colors full of life.\u00a0Also, do not forget that it covers 100% of the color volume thanks to the use of Quantum Dot quantum dots.<\/p>\n

A television to share experiences<\/h3>\n

With the aforementioned characteristics, its performance with high dynamic range also comes to us with news by including the new standard, Quantum HDR 32x.\u00a0With this visual configuration we will get to see the most imperceptible details of the dark areas.\u00a0Thanks to the reading of the data that exists within the HDR content,\u00a0Quantum HDR 32x\u00a0optimizes the backlight to appreciate even the minimum expression, managing the lighting in a natural way.<\/p>\n

The passage of day gives way to night, but that should not matter to us.\u00a0With the addition of an illumination sensor, the image is automatically adjusted to brightness level.\u00a0So we have a good TV experience regardless of the time of day.\u00a0We finish the review of its characteristics by mentioning the\u00a0value of 4,400 PQI, its frequency of 120 Hz and its wide viewing angles Wide Viewing Angle.<\/p>\n

Connectivity and sound<\/h2>\n

After a sealed hatch we see all the connections of the Samsung The Terrace QE65LST7T. It incorporates\u00a03 HDMI 2.0 connectors\u00a0(eARC, HDCP 2.3, HDMI-CEC, ALLM).\u00a0We also have a USB for playback and recording, LAN input, optical audio output and 3.5 mm minijack audio.\u00a0In addition, we have\u00a0Bluetooth 4.2, 5Ghz WiFi, Apple AirPlay, integrated voice assistants and Wi-Fi TV connection. Samsung The Terrace\u00a065LST7T includes an HD Base-T receiver for connecting external devices with a single cable, similar to Samsung’s One Connect.<\/p>\n

Includes an HD Base-T receiver<\/p>\n

Considering the location of the TV outdoors, we thought that the sound performance would be up to par.\u00a0However, we do not find too many differences with respect to what we have in any QLED.\u00a0Its data sheet shows us a\u00a0sound output of 20W RMS with a 2ch configuration.\u00a0Therefore, it will be advisable to use a sound bar if we want a better experience or we are in a noisy environment.<\/p>\n
