Q: can this tv be used with a wireless key board & mouse ?

A: Yes. This is about the only way to use the built in web browser. :)

Q: What is a good viewing distance from the Samsung 40 Ultra TV?

A: The best answer is really "What you prefer". Most people find an ideal spot by measuring the panel corner to corner (in this case, 40 inches), and then sitting back 2-3x that. 7 feet would be 84 inches, and 10 feet would be 120 inches. If you watch a lot of TV, find a panel size that you can view at a distance and not move your eyes to see the whole screen, as that causes eye fatigue. That said, some people love to buy a big screen and sit close. We're okay with that, too! :) --Mr. S

Q: Does this tv have usb ports and can it read video from a portable hard drive

A: Yes it has usb ports and can read portable hard drives.

Q: Netfilx 4k sybscription access

A: No. You can watch ultraHD on Netflix just with its subscription.

Q: Is this tv 60hz or 120hz?

A: It's 120hz on 1080p content, all 4k UHD TV's are currently 60hz at 4k due to the bandwidth limitation of HDMI 2.0. Any 4k TV's that claim to be higher are using software tricks to give the illusion of a higher refresh rate on 4k content, but your better off turning these features off to enable the sharpest 4k picture possible as the creator of the content intended

Q: Connect ability

A: If your Mac has HDMI output (like modern Mac Book Pro's) then it's easy. There is no direct VGA, DVI or Thunderbolt input however but you can still use DVI or Thuderbolt adapters (see attached recomendations) Save any packaging however, some adapters may not properly transfer audio.

Q: Would I be able to set this TV up by myself? I have terrible luck with electronics

A: Yes, this product will need to be removed from the box then moved to the final location and plugged in. If you need to hook up an HDMI plug or some other device, the plug ins are on the rear of the television. The instructions and guides that are included may help if needed.

Q: what is the viewing angle for the Samsung 40" Class 4K Ultra HD LED Smart TV

A: JaneC, The viewing angle is extremely wide.. While we don't have an exact specification advertised, every seat in the house is a "great seat" in terms of clarity and viewing. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

Great TV!
Love the graphics!! So far I've ran into minor issues with features, but nothing serious enough to not recommend this product to others. Pros: 1) Love the graphics! I have no complaints here at all! Movies and videogames are amazing on this set 2) Apps! A good number of apps to keep you entertained! I have access to my subscriptions on my tv. 3) Nice design. It's thin and easy to set up. Just plug and play really. I bought the wall stand, but lifting the TV onto the table stand for now was easy for me. I can't review setting it up the wall yet since I have yet to do that. Cons: Screen Mirror. It sucks. Badly. Which is why the review lost one star. While this is a big problem for me since I like to use xfinity to go on my screen (since xfinity doesn't have an actual working app yet), I was told to try Google chrome as a fix. Still this is an issue Samsung should address. When I try to connect to screen mirroring (using windows 8 surface) it works! Sometimes takes a while but most times its smooth. The problem? Disconnection. All. The. Time. I can't watch an episode fully without have to reconnect. 2) HORRIBLE tech support. Seriously youtube will be your best friend. I was on for hours with tech trying to help me with screen mirroring. In the end I searched and found a YouTube video. I ended the chat with the guy since I figured it out because of that video. The worst example would be my second call to tech support. I just wanted to know if I could resize screens on M. screen feature. The guy told me my TV doesn't have a multi screen feature!!! Lol!! I asked him what does M. screen on the remote mean then? He said, "multi screen". I then replied, "then I do have multi screen". He continued to take 1 hr and a 1/2 to check his "sources" to see if there was a way to resize screens. There is no way to do it apparently. The funny thing about this situation is that you give them you serial or model number so they know you have Warrenty and they know what product you have. How could they not know what their own models features are? Really sad support. :/ 3) Samsung smart. Horrible software and app. The iPhone app doesn't work. The PC software isnt user friendly. I just wanted to play music on my tv while studying but it's a fight I can't win. You can't just add folders seperately as they are on your computer and sometimes (a few times) it disconnected. Over all, the features are horrible. Samsung has horrible tech support so be prepared. The TV itself has a beautiful picture and it does have working apps on it. Maybe buy a Google chrome for the screen mirroring and this TV is a charm.

Stunning picture, detail and color with good setup
I read several other reviews claiming this set did not display good true UltraHD color. False info from those who do not work with the settings properly. Then I saw one post that went into setup for great performance. I used that, made a personal tweak here and there, and all is spectacular. BluRay up-rez is amazing, Netflix and cable HD are far sharper and richer than our 40"Samsung HD set (moved that one to the guest room.) BE SURE to use the highest quality HDMI cable for this set! I bought the Monster Cable ULTRA-HD GOLD, works great. Here are the settings: Picture Mode: Dynamic Backlight: 20 Contrast: 90 Brightness: 48 Sharpness: 16 Color: 42 Color Tone: Cool Digital Clean View: Low MPEG Noise Filter: Low Auto Motion Plus: Off Under Advanced Settings: Dynamic Contrast: Medium Black tone: Dark Color Space: Native NOTE: If you read some guy stating that this is not true 4K, ignore him. It is UltraHD as are all "4K" tvs. The confusion arises from the fact that in motion picture formats 4K refers to 4096 horizontal pixels, but UltrHD TV is 3840 horizontal. Sony and others were reluctant to call UltraHD by the term "4K" because they know this is technically inaccurate and they actually make true cinema 4K systems for filming and theaters. However, 4K has become the common name for ultra high definition television (UHDTV), although its resolution is "only" 3840 x 2160 (at a 16:9, or 1.78:1 aspect ratio), which is lower than the 4K film industry standard of 4096 x 2160 (at a 19:10 or 1.9:1 aspect ratio). By the way, UHDTV 3840 x 2160 is double the horizontal and vertical resolution of HD 1920 x 1080, which equals 4X the total pixels, a huge increase in detail and crisp text and graphics. The upres hardware engine in this UltraHD Samsung set gets stunning detail out of HD BluRay and broadcast, as well as my Chromecast HBO GO and Netflix. I now sit closer to the set for a more theater-like experience. Later when more UHDTV shows are available and UHDTV discs/players start to appear, I will be even happier, but this tv is already well worth the $900.
