Opinion: Mini-LED is a perfect match for outdoor TVs TVs with a mini-LED backlight can provide strikingly high brightness, which is why theyre a great choice for daytime viewing or watching in rooms where you plan to have the lights on. Theyre also great for capturing the full range of highlight detail in HDR programs, though the high peak light output they deliver can sometimes prove too much for viewing in dim or dark rooms . Previous Samsung Terrace TVs used a regular QLED display panel. Now, with the introduction of mini-LED to the Terrace TV mix via the new 85-inch models Neo QLED display, viewers have an even brighter option for outdoor viewing, one that can more strongly compete with direct sunlight to create clear, glare-free pictures. The new 85-inch models Gaming Hub feature is also a nice addition, and one that will allow for a greater range of outdoor uses beyond just watching movies, TV shows and sports. Beyond that, Samsungs new Terrace has the same Tizen smart interface found on its indoor TVs, which will let viewers stream from a wide array of apps and also search for and select shows using voice commands. At $20,000, the 85-inch Terrace is undoubtedly expensive, but this is a niche TV designed for a very specific application.
