A: Hi ASKINGFORAFRIEND, Thank you for your inquiry! The KD X80J Series has different sizes that you can choose from. The sizes are 43", 50", 55", 65" and 75". It is also important to note that the screen size is measure diagonally.

Q: Does it have hdmi 2.1?

A: Hi MFrecklez, Thank you for the inquiry. Unfortunately, the KD50X80J does not features specified in the HDMI 2.1 standard. However, this TV supports eARC/ARC. If you are looking for a TV that supports HDMI 2.1 features like 4K/120, ALLM, and VRR(available via future update) we recommend checking out the X900H, A90J series, or X90J, A80J series.

The actual width of the KD50X80J is 44 3/8 inches (44.33 inches/1,126mm).

Q: Can this fit on a 27 inch table?

A: I’m sorry, it will not. The stand legs are 29 13/16. You might want to look into purchasing a universal stand with a middle base that will support a 50 inch flat. I purchased one from Amazon for another 50 inch tv in our home and it works beautifully. Good luck.

A: Hi melvin, The Xfinity app is not currently available on the X80J. Thank you for the inquiry. Tin
