    Why won't my Samsung TV connect to wifi?
    ernie
    over 1 year ago
    If your Samsung TV isn't detecting a wireless network (or continuously loses its network connection), the problem might be that your TV simply isn't properly connected to your network. There are a few things that can lead to connection issues, like old firmware or your smart TV needing a reset.

    How do I fix the black screen of death on my Samsung TV?
    lesley.hodkiewicz
    over 1 year ago
    You may need to update your firmware, or during the update, there was a problem. You can normally resolve this by unplugging the TV, waiting 30 seconds, and plugging it back in. Next, update your firmware – but ensure your TV is connected to your Wi-Fi.

    A VESA mount is a standard mounting interface for attaching a display device, such as a TV or monitor, to a wall mount or stand. The term "VESA" stands for "Video Electronics Standards Association," which is a trade organization that sets standards for the display industry.
