Precautions when using Art mode

Motion Sensor may not be supported depending on the model or geographical area.

• The motion sensor is located at the bottom of the TV. Do not block the sensor at the front of the TV. The motion

sensor as well as the brightness and color tone of the screen can be affected.

•Art mode uses algorithms to minimize image burn-in that can be caused by displaying still images on the screen

for long periods of time.

• The performance of the sensor may vary depending on the TV installation and operating environment.

– The screen brightness and color tone may be affected depending on the color of the floor on which the TV

stands.

– In an environment where special light sources other than standard light sources (halogen, fluorescent) are

used, the sensor's motion recognition performance may vary depending on the positions, types, and number

of the light sources.

– If the area around the TV is too dark or bright, the screen brightness may be limited or the sensor may not

work normally.

– If the TV is installed too high or too low, the sensor may not work normally.

– The motion sensor may sense motion from a flashing LED, a pet, a car moving outside the window, or other

occurrence and start operating.

• Depending on the Auto Power Off function settings, the TV may turn off when there is no user input in Art

mode, such as inputs from the remote control ( Menu Settings All Settings General & Privacy

Power and Energy Saving Auto Power Off). Try Now

• The following functions are disabled in Art mode.

Read before setting up a wireless network connection

Precautions for wireless network

• This TV supports the IEEE 802.11 a /b /g /n /ac communication protocols. 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.

QN9**B series supports the IEEE 802.11 a /b /g /n /ac /ax communication protocols.

For models other than the QN9**B series, Samsung recommends using IEEE 802.11n.

• To use wireless network, the TV must be connected to a wireless access point or modem. If the wireless access

point supports DHCP, the TV can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the wireless network.

• Select a channel that is not currently being used by the wireless access point. If the channel set is currently

being used by the wireless access point to communicate with another device, the result is usually interference

and/or a communications failure.

• Most wireless networks have an optional security system. To enable a wireless network's security system,

you need to create a password using characters and numbers. This password is then needed to connect to a

security-enabled access point.

• The TV supports Mass Storage Class (MSC) 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

recognize 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 5V 1A) port. We recommend that you use an external

hard drive with its own power adapter.

USB (HDD 5V 1A) port is supported by some models.

• 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 recognize some or all the

devices. USB devices that use high-power input should be connect to the USB (HDD 5V 1A) port.

USB (HDD 5V 1A) port is supported by some models.

• 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 2022.

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 resolutions supported 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. The TV will automatically adjust to the resolution you choose. Note that the optimal and

recommended resolutions are 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz (UHD models), and 7680 x 4320 @ 60 Hz (QN7**B series or

higher). Choosing a resolution not included in the tables can result in a blank or  screen or can turn on only

the receiver of the remote control. Refer to the user manual of your graphics card for compatible resolutions.

The native resolutions are 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz (UHD models) and 7680 x 4320 @ 60 Hz (QN7**B series or higher) with the

Input Signal Plus set to On. The native resolution is 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz with the Input Signal Plus set to Off.
