    What does it mean that UN40F5000AF has a vesa mount?
    janet_pouros
    over 1 year ago
    A VESA mount is a standard mounting interface for attaching a display device, such as a TV, to a wall mount or stand. The term "VESA" stands for "Video Electronics Standards Association," which is an organization that sets standards for the display industry.

Mark catches a rare glimpse of Samsung's mid to low tiered F5000 3D LED TV. Anyone would think that it's becoming end of line and they have remaining stock to shift but we're not that cynical!.

Samsung is the top-selling manufacturer of TVs in the USA now, and their cheapest 1080p model is the F5000. With no apps, a 60 Hz LCD panel, and only a pair of HDMI inputs the UN32F5000 is a very b…

The Samsung UNF5000AF series of HDTVs deliver good image quality at a reasonable price but you don't get much in the way features.

A good picture with minimal smarts, inputs

The UNF5000 is one of Samsung's few TVs to lack Smart TV features, but if you don't mind that, it represents a solid value.
