The TV is hot.
Watching TV for an extended period of time causes the panel to generate heat. The
heat from the panel is dissipated through internal vents running along the top of
the TV. The bottom, however, may feel hot to the touch after extended use. Children
watching TV need constant adult supervision to prevent them from touching the
TV. This heat, however, is not a defect and does not affect the TV's functionality.
The picture won’t display
in full screen.
HD channels will have black bars on either side of the screen when displaying
upscaled SD (4:3) content.
Black bars will appear at the top and bottom of the screen when you watch movies
that have aspect ratios different from your TV.

Precautions for wireless Internet
●This TV supports the IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac communication protocols. Samsung recommends using
IEEE 802.11n. Video files stored on a device connected to the TV via Home Network may not play
back smoothly.
"IEEE 802.11 ac communication protocol is not available on certain models.
●To use wireless Internet, the TV must be connected to a wireless router or modem. If the wireless
router 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 in use for the wireless router. If the channel set for the
wireless router is currently being used by 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 AP.
Wireless security protocols
●The TV only supports the following wireless network security protocols.
–Authentication Modes: WEP, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK
–Encryption Types: WEP, TKIP, AES
●In compliance with the newest 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 router 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.
●The TV cannot connect to non-certified wireless routers.
