In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions.

Outdoor TV Samsung Terrace 28.05.2020

Samsung continues to expand the range of its TVs, mastering more and more new niches. A new addition to the stand-alone lifestyle family, which includes interior models Serif and Frame, as well as the Sero line for millennials, is the Samsung Terrace model, whose name directly indicates the key feature of the novelty. As most have already guessed, it is designed for outdoor use. By the way, this is Samsung's first outdoor TV.

The Samsung Terrace is protected from dust and moisture in accordance with the requirements of IP55 (protection against dust and water jets). That is, the device is not afraid of heavy rain and wind with dust. He is not afraid of direct sunlight either - the peak brightness of the QLED 4K screen is declared at the level of a record 2 thousand nits, so you don’t have to worry too much about this aspect. For comparison, for conventional TVs, the indicator rarely exceeds 600 nits, and for monitors, 250-300 nits is considered the norm. But he is afraid of frost - the device is not designed to work at low temperatures.

Another feature of Samsung Terrace is support for HDBaseT technology. That is, audio and video data, signals from external sources, Internet connection and power - all provided by a single cable connected to a separate block with connectors, which is supposed to be kept indoors. Samsung Terrace has no other connectors. In terms of wireless capabilities, there's 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The Samsung Terrace model will be available with screens of three different diagonals: 55, 65 and 75 inches. The price is 3500, 5000 and 65000 dollars respectively.
