- This TV supports the IEEE 802.11 a /b /g /n /ac communication protocols. Samsung recommends using IEEE 802.11n. Video files stored on a device connected to the TV via a Home Network may not play back smoothly.

Some of the IEEE 802.11 communication protocols may not be supported depending on the model or geographical area.
If the TV support both 2.4 and 5 GHz frequencies, the TV supports the IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac communication protocols.

-Authentication Modes: WEP, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK

-Encryption Types: WEP, TKIP, AES

In compliance with the Wi-Fi certification specifications, Samsung TVs do not support WEP or TKIP security encryption in networks running in the 802.11n mode. If the wireless access point supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can connect the TV to your network using PBC (Push Button Configuration) or a PIN (Personal Identification Number). WPS automatically configures the SSID and WPA key settings.

Limitations to the use of photo, video, and music files Try Now

• The TV supports MSC (Mass Storage Class) USB devices only. MSC is a class designation for mass storage devices. Types of MSC devices include external hard drives, flash card readers, and digital cameras. (USB hubs are not supported.) These kinds of devices must be connected directly to the USB port. The TV may not be able to recognise a USB device or read the files on the device if it is connected with a USB extension cable. Do not disconnect USB devices while they are transferring files.
• When connecting an external hard drive, use the USB (HDD 5V1A) port. We recommend that you use an external hard drive with its own power adapter.
• Certain digital cameras and audio devices may not be compatible with the TV.
• If there are multiple USB devices connected to the TV, the TV might not be able to recognise some or all the devices. USB devices that use high-power input should be connect to the USB (HDD 5V 1A) port.
• The TV supports the FAT, exFAT, and NTFS file systems.
• In the media contents list, the TV can display up to 1,000 files per folder. If the USB device contains more than 8,000 files and folders, however, some files and folders might not be accessible.
• Certain files, depending on how they are encoded, may not play on the TV.
• Certain files are not supported on all models.
• The DivX and DTS codecs are not supported by the Samsung TV models released in 2019.

Installing an anti-theft lock

An anti-theft lock is a physical device that can be used to protect the TV against theft. Look for the lock slot on the back of the TV. The slot has a 🔒 icon next to it. To use the lock, wrap the lock cable around an object that is too heavy to carry and then thread it through the TV's lock slot. The lock is sold separately. The method of using an anti-theft lock may differ for each model. Refer to the lock's user manual for more information.

This function may not be supported depending on the model or geographical area.

Read Before Connecting a Computer (Supported Resolutions)

Check the supported resolution for PC input signals.

When you connect your TV to a computer, set the computer's video card to one of the standard resolutions listed in the tables below or on the next pages. The TV will automatically adjust to the resolution you choose. Note that the optimal and recommended resolutions are 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz (UHD model series) and 7680 x 4320 at 60 Hz (Q900RB model). Choosing a resolution not included in the tables can result in a blank screen or just the power indicator turning on. Refer to the user manual of your graphics card for compatible resolutions.

The native resolutions are 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz (UHD model series) and 7680 x 4320 at 60 Hz (Q900RB model) with the Input Signal Plus set to On. The native resolution is 3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz with the Input Signal Plus set to Off.
