The TU690T does not have built-in Alexa, but it does work with Alexa-enabled devices. You can ask your Alexa device to turn on your TV, change channels, control the volume, and more.

A:AnswerHi Shay,
No, you can watch local channels or Cable TV without Wi-FI. You do need Wi-Fi for streaming via apps or to watch Samsung TV Plus.

A:AnswerHi asdf,
Yes, both HDMI ports are CEC-enabled. You will want to ensure you have Anynet+ enabled to ensure it works properly. To do so, go to Settings (All Settings) > General (Connection). Select External Device Manager, and then select Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC).

A:AnswerHi Richiek,
The TU690T does not have Art mode. I would recommend you upgrade to the AU8000 TV which features Ambient Mode, allowing you to turn your sleeping TV into art, a photo gallery, or information center, and more, depending on your moods and needs. Buy it at Best Buy here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-75-class-au8000-series-led-4k-uhd-smart-tizen-tv/6465638.p?skuId=6465638#tabbed-customerreviews

A:AnswerThe mounting screw size provided in the set up guide is not correct for this TV. I have tried multiple screw sizes and none have fit the holes on the TV. I called Samsung customer service and it was useless. Referred me to the Samsung parts vendor. I am beyond frustrated at this point and need to know what size mounting screw will work. It is not a M8 20-22mm with 1.25 mm pitch.
