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.

Can I hook my vcr up to the tv

The TV has RCA-style (red, white and yellow) ports that should connect with outputs from the VCR. Red and white for audio, yellow for video. There also are 3 HDMI ports, in case the VCR has an HDMI output.

Hanging scew

I used M8 x 1.25mm x 25mm machine screws to hang my un558000fxza. They're available at hardware stores or samsungparts.com. Best Buy probably also sells them. I've seen lengths varying from 25mm to 43mm in various answers, and it probably depends on which wall mount you use. So you might want a kit with several lengths. For my Rocketfish mount from Best Buy, I was able to use 22mm with washers to get me to the just-right 25mm length.

Does the Class 8 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Tizen TV have the timeshift function allowing one to record or rewind streaming programs?

My UN55TU8000FXZA doesn't appear to have the time shift feature, and I haven't seen it listed for this TV or higher-priced ones. Some websites I've seen say that Samsung does not offer time shift in the U.S. market.

can you mount a sound bar to it

Best Answer

The TV has HDMI and Optical outputs, which will connect to a soundbar with those inputs. Bluetooth should also work if you have a Bluetooth soundbar. If I understand right, HDMI inputs on a soundbar work best. You can use the eARC output from the TV for better sound quality and use of the TV remote to control the soundbar.
