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.

hello, this tv what operating system does it have and if it can be updating the same system

It has the Tizen operating system, which is Samsung's version similar to Android, MacOS, and others. Sorry; I'm not sure what you mean by updating the same system. I' m sure Samsung does updates just as other companies do with their operating systems.

Is this model edge-lit or direct-lit? Comparison specs and Q&A say direct, but several reviews say edge. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/compare?skus=6401746,6323731

Hi subverb! The 55TU8000 is a direct lit model with lights behind the screen for more uniformity over edge lit. ^Tim

Does this TV have Apple Air Play along with all the other apps the TV comes with? I see it comes with YouTube, Netflix and HULU, but my I don't see if this TV includes Apple Air Play.

I didn't find an AirPlay app when I searched the TV. But AirPlay works through my iPhone when I cast to the TV. Here's a link that might help. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00082643/

How many HDMI ports does this tv have?

It has 3 HDMI ports, one of which is eARC. If I understand right, the eARC output carries both sound and video, so you can connect to game consoles, sound systems or other devices without using a separate audio cable. You can see the HDMI ports in the attached photo. Two have access from the side, and the third has access from the back. The back-facing one is in the middle, just above the optical output.

Can The HDMI inputs take 4k content like from Roku? What types are the HDMIs ?

It is a 4K TV with a Roku app available, so I assume it would accept 4K content from Roku. I have mine connected to a Roku device, and it works fine. The specs say one of the three HDMI ports is eARC, which "connects home theater systems, gaming consoles and other devices directly to the TV, removing the need for an extra audio cable." Answers to other questions suggest that the ports are not HDMI 2.1, but that "the TU8000 has 3 HDMI ports, all of which support Auto Low Latency Mode (Auto Game Mode)." You might want to search for HDMI or Roku in the Q&A. There are answers from people who understand these things better than I do.
