Questionwould this 49 inch tv fit on a 40 inch stand or are the feet to wide apart
Asked 7 years ago by tori.
- Answer I just measured my TV. The feet span 38 7/8 inches, so it will fit on a 40" stand with 1/2 inch to spare on each side. The width of the TV is 43" so it will overlap the stand by about 2" on each side. It's a very good TV; it works flawlessly with my AT&T UVERSE and high-speed internet.

QuestionWith a lower refresh rate than the larger 8000 models, is it noticeable? I'm trying to decide if the 55" is worth the extra money on a budget.
Asked 7 years ago by SKT.
- Answer I've just installed the 49", and am wondering if that was a mistake also. Example: football action seems to judder, and so far the judder control doesn't seem to correct it very well. For example, hard to see football in flight on long pass or field goal. Best to compare 49" in a showroom against same action content on larger screen in same line. Disclaimer: I haven't yet tried all possible configuration of motion-related settings. Other than motion issue, picture is gorgeous (IMHO).

Asked 7 years ago by Anonymous.

QuestionThis TV replaced an older Samsung in my den. I also have a 65" Samsung 1040 in my F.R. I now have upper & lower cropping on most movies on BOTH TVs (Netflix, Amazon, HBO etc.). I always had full screen movies before? No one has been able to help?
Asked 7 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Press the "Home" button on the TELEVISION remote. Then press the left (9:00) position on the control ring until you highlight the gear wheel (settings) on the far left. Select the Picture icon and use the control ring to move to the Picture Size Settings. Select that and then choose Fit to Screen. That should take care of your problem.

Questionis this tv have mount ability and if so where do I install my HDMI cable from the Cable box.
Asked 6 years ago by oldguy.
- Answer Easy wall mount with correct mount kit. Has very cool “One Connect” box that has just one cable to TV. All other connections (IE cable box, DVD/BlueRay, home theater, sound bar, etc) go into that box. Makes it easy to add/remove components.

QuestionIs it true that Samsung is now promoting ads on the Samsung UN49MU8000 and the ads cannot be turn off? Can you describe where the ads are displayed? Is this a problem when watching tv?
Asked 7 years ago by trekkernyc.
- Answer The ad is displayed on the quick menu when you press the home button on the remote. Honestly, it's just one tile. It's only noticeable when you turn the tv on, or press the home button. I'm ok with it being there when you press the home button. Just wish the bar didn't pop up every time that you turn on the tv.
