Q: What is High Dynamic Range? Is this new or better than average SUHD?

A: Dynamic range is the difference between the lightest light and darkest dark. If an object exceeds the dynamic range, there is a tendency to wash out or contain black blobs. HDR is able to capture both ends of the spectrum leading to highly accurate reproductions of the subject being captured.

Q: Can you hear the TV well w/out the sound bar? Must you buy it separately? Where does bar go if you mount the tv on wall?

A: the sound from this tv is better than any I've ever had, and I've had quite a few along the way... i have been thinking of adding the soundbar only because I've never had one and want to check it out. but its def not needed here. its great. crisp and clear. and my guess if your wall-mounting the tv, you would either have the bar mounted to the wall directly under the tv, or get one of those tall long tables people usually put say behind their couch if the couch back is open to the room, and put the bar on it. and yes you would buy a soundbar separately.

Q: I purchased this TV about a week ago and absolutely love it. I looked through the settings and couldn't find anything about screen mirroring....Does this TV allow Screen Mirroring...and if so, where would I find it to enable it?

A: Hi Derek, yes this TV does have Mobile to TV - Mirroring. In the user manual http://bit.ly/2cc03V2 on page 19 you can find information about screen mirroring to the TV. ^Rosi

Q: what kind of warranty comes with the tv

A: Hahaha. I just posted a review with the ridiculous process I'm going through. Mine broke after 2 months and they have no clue when the part will be available again and neither Samsung or Best Buy will help me the least bit. It's a freaking joke. If that part is on backorder this fast for new model, I don't really consider that promising.

Q: How much does the TV weigh?

A: For any weight related questions you can usually consult the specifications portion of the description.

Q: Is this set Direct TV ready?

A: Set up couldn't be easier. Direct TV offers 4K equipment and channels.

Q: Is the stand available for purchase? Have mounted on wall but want to change location to table

A: Our curve came with the legs to stand on table. You can probably contact Samsung for a replacement if yours didn't have them.
