A:AnswerHi Larry - Tizen OS is Samsung’s own smart platform, while Google TV is made by Google. Both let you stream your favorite apps, but Tizen is designed to work seamlessly with Samsung features like Multi View, Game Bar, and Samsung TV Plus (free live TV). It also gives you a clean, customizable interface with fast app switching and SmartThings built right in.

A:AnswerJuanM - 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:AnswerTotchket - If you’d like to listen to audio without the screen on, Auto Picture Off allows you to do just that. This feature keeps the sound playing while turning off the screen to help save energy. Pressing Volume or Power will not wake the screen, but any other button on the remote will. To activate Auto Picture Off: Home > left directional key > Settings > All Settings > General & Privacy > Accessibility > Auto Picture Off
