I easily mounted a 39-inch TV and, later, a 55-inch with this Rocketfish. Instructions are clear, and the package includes mounting screws in all sizes. So I had the right size for each TV without a trip to the hardware store. It was a bit of challenge fitting screws under the tilt adjustment knob, where they needed to be for the 55-incher. Luckily, the M8 by 21mm screws that Samsung requires were just short enough to work. The rails that let me slide the TV left and right meant I could center it perfectly over a cabinet. Other features I especially like include the tilt function that compensates for bright morning sun. I would buy this mount again.

I would recommend this to a friend!

Our household is well pleased with our new Samsung TU8000. Spending a little extra for series 8 features including the voice-activated One Remote and Bluetooth was worth it. We are able to adjust the picture and sound exactly as we like it. Setup with on-screen instructions was easy, even for our mature Baby Boomer brains. The remote is intuitive enough to guide us through its functions, although we still have use other remotes to set up cable recordings and control volume on external speakers. We don't use the Smart Things app for iPhones because our phones already control the TV as much as we need. We also were put off by the pay subscription for anything but basic features. We now have access to more entertainment than we will ever watch. Altogether, we're happy.

I would recommend this to a friend!

Samsung - 55" Class 8000 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Tizen TV

Step up to the world of Crystal UHD from Samsung. Elevated color and clarity offer you a picture that has to be seen to be believed. Add in smart features that make watching TV even easier, and you have a TV that is essential.

Is this a 2021 model?

Does this TV automatically select the strongest wi-fi signal (2.4gHz or 5gHz)? As I understand things, my wi-fi-router and extender operate simultaneously with both, and 5gHz is best for streaming video, etc.

Has anyone been able to use the TV's One Remote to schedule and view recordings through a cable box? Is it even possible? My cable box is an Atlas URC1056B04, rented through WOW/Knology.

Samsung - 55" Class 8 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Tizen TV

I just bought this TV in April. PLEASE tell me there’s another way to FF or rewind a program OTHER than in 10 second increments? For example, if I want to FF a program 10 minutes, I have to click the “right button” on the remote 60 times? This is insane.

I can change the fast-forward speed on my remote by clicking the right side of that center button. Four clicks is fastest, about 30 minutes in 15 seconds.

What kind of wall mount should I buy for a TV that’s 55 inch and weighs about 35 pounds?

Here's the one I bought. It's good up to 130 pounds, and it tilts to adjust for room brightness, etc. It has clear instructions for wall- and TV-mounting, and it has worked well. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/rocketfish-tilting-tv-wall-mount-for-most-32-75-tvs-black/9881868.p?skuId=9881868

Will this TV work with my TiVo? I access HULU and Netflix via my TiVo. Will I still be able to do that? I usually use the remote for my TiVo, will that cause a problem that I'm not using the remote for the TV?

The remote for this TV can be programmed to operate other devices connected to the TV's inputs and outputs. You have to set each one up with an on-screen menu. I don't have a TiVo, but I use the TV remote for some functions on my cable box and Roku. More complicated functions such as scheduling recordings, TV program guides, and fast-forwarding/rewinding took time for me to figure out. Some of them require going through several steps and menus. So I find easier to use my cable box remote for those functions. As for Netflix and HULU, apps for those and others are built into the TV. The Apps menu will take you to them, or for Netflix you can use a dedicated button on the remote.

I have read that when mounted to wall the location of one of the HDMI inputs gets blocked from the mount and so that HDMI port is no longer available. Is this true?

One of the HDMI ports faces toward the back, rather than the side like the other two ports. A connection to it can be awkward, but I am able to use it with my wall mount. Plugging in the cable before you attach the TV to the mount might help. You can see all three HDMI ports in the attached photo. The back-facing port is in the middle, to the left of the component outputs and above the optical input.
