Samsung 85″ “The Terrace Full Sun” Neo QLED 4K (“QN85LST9C”)

If you're looking to bring cinematic, high-end television experience outside — onto your patio, beside your pool, or in a full-sun terrace setting — then the Samsung The Terrace Full Sun 85″ Neo QLED is one of the most impressive options currently on the market. Below is a detailed blog-style overview covering key features, what makes it special, how it performs, and whether it's a good fit for you.

Why this TV is unique

Here are the standout features that set this model apart:

  • Outdoor-optimized display: The Terrace is built for outdoor use, especially areas with direct sunlight. Samsung markets this model as being “Full Sun” capable, meaning it’s designed to maintain visibility and durability even when exposed to bright ambient light.

  • Brightness & anti-glare: The screen includes anti-reflection treatment and a high-brightness panel to cut down on glare and wash-out from sunlight. Samsung au+1

  • Weather and dust resistance: It carries an IP56 rating — meaning protection against dust ingress and water spray – making it suitable for exterior installations. videoandaudiocenter.com+1

  • Premium picture processing: Equipped with Samsung’s Neural Quantum Processor 4K, Neo Quantum HDR+, Quantum Matrix technology, etc. These features help upscale content, enhance contrast, and deliver rich colour even in outdoor conditions. Crutchfield+1

  • Large size: At 85″ class, this is one of the largest outdoor-TV options available, making it ideal for outdoor entertaining or large open-space viewing.

  • Smart functionality: This model supports Samsung Smart TV features, voice assistants built-in, and connectivity options (WiFi, Bluetooth) to make it a full “indoor style” TV experience but placed outdoors. Samsung au+1

Real-world use: Pros & Considerations

Pros:

  • For outdoor areas where sunlight is strong (poolside, patio, terrace), this TV really delivers a bright and clear image when many indoor TVs would be washed out.

  • The build for outdoor durability means you’re less likely to worry about dust, rain spray or high-heat conditions (within spec) compared to indoor sets placed outside.

  • The anti-reflection and wide viewing angle features make it nicer for group viewing outdoors.

  • Big size + high end picture gives a “premium” feel for outdoor entertaining (sports days, movie nights under the stars, etc).

Considerations / caveats:

  • Cost: This is a premium outdoor TV. The price is significantly higher than a typical indoor TV of similar size. (E.g., U.S. MSRP ~$19,999 for U.S market listing) Samsung au+1

  • Mounting & installation: Because it’s large (85″) and built for outdoor use, you’ll want to plan for proper mounting, weather-proofing of cables, possibly shade/cover, and adequate ventilation.

  • Viewing conditions still matter: Even though the screen is designed for full sun, extremely high heat, direct blazing midday sun for extended periods may still impact brightness or cause the TV to adjust. Samsung notes brightness may decrease under certain conditions. Samsung au

  • Sound: Outdoor environments are acoustically different from indoor rooms — you may need external sound solution (soundbar or outdoor speakers) to get optimal audio.

  • Location suitability: If your outdoor area is mostly shaded or only lightly exposed to direct sun, a lower-cost outdoor TV (or indoor set placed out with some shade) might suffice instead of this high-end “Full Sun” model.

Why it’s a strong offering via Al Qamar Electronics

Since you mentioned interest in Al Qamar Electronics (UAE) for high-quality electronics and appliances:

  • This model is listed on their site with a sale price of AED 63,999 (down from ~AED 69,999) for the 85″ version. AL QAMAR ELECTRONICS

  • As a specialist electronics store in the UAE region (Abu Dhabi / Sharjah), they likely have good capability for delivery/installation in that locale — which is important for large outdoor TVs.

  • If you're in a region like the UAE (or nearby GCC / Middle East) the climate (sun, heat, outdoor living culture) makes this type of outdoor-TV solution more relevant than in some other markets.
    Tip: If purchasing in the UAE or shipping to a nearby region (or considering similar purchase in Pakistan), check local warranty/after-sales service, whether installation includes outdoor mounting and weather-proofing, and whether the model is region-specific (power ratings, frequencies) or designed for local outdoor conditions.

Who is this best for?

You’ll want to consider this model if you:

  • Have an outdoor living space (poolside, patio, terrace) where you entertain guests and want TV viewing in sunlight.

  • Want a premium large-screen experience outdoors (85″ is large!) and are willing to invest significantly.

  • Live in a climate where direct outdoor sunlight is strong and want a TV that can hold up to that (heat, dust, rain spray, etc).

  • Are comfortable planning/handling the installation and mounting considerations for a large outdoor TV (weather‐proofing, wiring, shading, ventilation).

Conversely, if you mostly watch indoors, have only occasional outdoor viewing, or mostly view in shaded outdoor spots, you might not need the full “full sun outdoor” premium — and a less expensive outdoor/indoor-rated TV could suffice.

Final thoughts

The Samsung The Terrace Full Sun 85″ Neo QLED (QN85LST9C) is arguably one of the most capable outdoor TVs available today, offering strong durability, brightness, and “outdoor living” credentials. For someone who wants to turn their outdoor space into a high-end entertainment zone, it’s an excellent choice — provided the budget, installation logistics and outdoor location make sense.
