Internet security

Samsung takes a number of steps to protect its Internet-compatible Smart TVs against unauthorized incursions and hacking. For example, certain sensitive communications between the TV and the Internet servers are encrypted. In addition, the TV’s operating system has adopted controls to prevent the installation of unauthorized applications.  Although we take steps to protect your Smart TV and personal information, no Internet-connected device or transmission is completely secure. We, therefore, encourage you to take additional steps to safeguard your TV, secure your Internet connection, and minimize the risk of unauthorized access. These steps are listed below:

  • When Samsung releases software updates to improve the security of your TV, you should promptly install these updates. To automatically receive these updates, turn on  Auto Update in the TV’s menu ( > Settings > Support > Software Update > Auto Update). When an update is available, a popup message appears on the TV screen. Accept the software download and update by selecting Yes when prompted. Take steps to secure your wireless access point and network. Your access point’s manual  should provide additional details about how to implement the following measures:– Secure your wireless access point’s management settings with a unique password to prevent unauthorized changes to security-related settings.– Implement standard encryption (e.g., WPA2 encryption) on your wireless access point to secure your wireless network signal.– Secure access to your wireless network with a hard-to-guess password. – Confirm your access point’s firewall setting is enabled (if so equipped).– Make sure that all your Internet-connected devices are behind your network’s firewall.– If your access point or modem has a standby mode button, use it to disconnect your home network from theInternet when it is not in use.• Use strong passwords for all your Internet accounts (Netflix, Facebook, etc.). If your TV has a camera, recess the camera into the TV’s bezel when it is not in use.  Recessing the camera makes it inoperative.• If any unexpected messages appear on your TV screen requesting permission to link a device or enable a remote session, do NOT accept.• Do not visit suspicious websites and do not install any suspicious programs. We recommend that users install only those authorized apps provided by Samsung through Samsung Smart Hub.

  • 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 (>Settings > General > Eco Solution > Auto Power Off).
  • > Settings > General > System Manager > Time > Sleep Timer and Off Timer function does not work in Art mode.
  • > Settings > General > System Manager > Auto Protection Time function does not work in Art mode.

Eco Sensor and screen brightness

Eco Sensor adjusts the brightness of the TV automatically. This feature measures the light in your room and optimizes the brightness of the TV automatically to reduce power consumption. If you want to turn this off, go to >Settings > General > Eco Solution > Ambient Light Detection.

  • If the screen is too dark while you are watching TV in a dark environment, it may be due to the Ambient Light Detection function.
  • The eco sensor is located at the bottom of the TV. Do not block the sensor with any object. This can decrease picture brightness.

Caring for the TV

  • If a sticker was attached to the TV screen, some debris can remain after you remove the sticker. Please clean the debris off before watching TV.
  • The exterior and screen of the TV can get scratched during cleaning. Be sure to wipe the exterior and screen carefully using a soft cloth to prevent scratches.
  •  Do not spray water or any liquid directly onto the TV. Any liquid that goes into the product may cause a failure, fire, or electric shock.
  • To clean the screen, turn off the TV, then gently wipe away smudges and fingerprints on the panel with a micro-fiber cloth. Clean the body or panel of the TV with a micro-fiber cloth dampened with a small amount of water. After that, remove the moisture with a dry cloth. While cleaning, do not apply strong force to the surface of the panel because it can damage the panel. Never use a flammable liquid(benzene, thinner, etc.) or a cleaning agent. For stubborn smudges, spray a small amount of screen cleaner on a  micro-fiber cloth, and then use the cloth to wipe away the smudges.
