A:AnswerHi Bruce - The Q7F TV is not intended for outdoor use, as it does not carry an outdoor-use rating. If you’re looking for a TV built specifically for outdoor environments, we recommend The Terrace, which is rated for use in temperatures up to 122°F.

A:AnswerHarry - The Q7F supports audio over HDMI, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. If an Optical port is important to your setup, this input is available starting with our Q8F Series.

A:AnswerIt does have the capability of closed captioning which I am using. The size of the captioning is adequate for my purposes.
I cannot respond to your other questions; those are for Samsung to answer.
