Screws & spacers for the 55U8K
The 55U8K takes M6 bolts: M6 per Hisense's sibling A6H/U6K sheets - the U8K sheet states no thread at all; confirm in the manual before buying bolts. A bolt longer than the documented spec can bottom out against internal components and damage the panel — thread a screw in by hand first and confirm it seats before mounting the TV.
If your mount's hardware kit doesn't include the right length, a universal TV hardware kit covers M4–M8 in common lengths. More detail in the screw size guide.
Standing the 55U8K on furniture instead?
Per Hisense's documentation, the 55U8K's factory stand is 33.4 in wide and 12.6 in deep — plan a console at least 36 in wide and 15 in deep. The panel can overhang the furniture; the stand cannot.
Furniture narrower than 36 in? A universal pedestal stand bolts into the same 400×300 mm VESA holes (M6 screws) and stands on a single center column — the usual fix instead of replacing the console. Check its weight rating against the 55U8K's 41.2 lb.
Replacement remote for the 55U8K
Hisense U8K Voice Remote — part number ERF6N64H — is the matching remote for the 55U8K. Bluetooth voice remote with mic - pairing required. Consistently listed by replacement sellers for the 55-85 in U8K line; Hisense's own parts store carries no U8K remote listing to verify against.
Full compatibility list, substitutes and ordering advice: ERF6N64H remote page. Order by the part number, not the TV size — one remote covers the platform. All Hisense remotes are on the brand hub.
Double-check before buying
- Remove any plastic hole plugs on the back panel and confirm all 4 threaded holes are present and undamaged.
- Measure hole spacing center-to-center in millimeters — you should get 400 mm across and 300 mm vertically.
- Compare the model number on the back-panel sticker with the one on this page (55U8K) — retail variants can differ.
How to verify yourself
- Lay the TV screen-down on a soft, flat surface and locate the 4 threaded holes on the back.
- Measure horizontally between the centers of the upper holes, then vertically between an upper and a lower hole — in millimeters.
- Match the two numbers to a standard pattern (for the 55U8K: 400×300 mm). Full walkthrough with photos of what to avoid: how to measure VESA.
Frequently asked questions
What VESA pattern does the Hisense 55U8K use?
The Hisense 55U8K uses a 400×300 mm VESA pattern — 400 mm between hole centers horizontally and 300 mm vertically (about 15.7×11.8 in). Any bracket whose supported range covers 400×300 mm will line up. Confirm on the back panel before ordering, since retail variants of a series occasionally differ.
What size screws does the 55U8K need for wall mounting?
The 55U8K takes M6 metric screws. Documented length: M6 per Hisense's sibling A6H/U6K sheets - the U8K sheet states no thread at all; confirm in the manual before buying bolts. A bolt that is too long can bottom out and damage the panel or internals, so verify thread depth on the 55U8K with a hand-tightened test screw before torquing anything down.
How much does the 55U8K weigh without the stand?
The 55U8K weighs 41.2 lb (18.7 kg) without the stand or cables. For a 20% safety margin, pick a mount rated for at least 55 lb. Anchoring matters as much as the rating: at this weight, one properly hit stud is usually enough, but follow your mount's instructions.
Will a 600×400 mount fit the 55U8K?
A bracket sold as 600×400-only will not line up with the 55U8K's 400×300 mm holes. Most 600×400 mounts, however, support a range of patterns — if the spec sheet lists 400×300 mm, it fits directly. If not, a VESA adapter plate (400×300→600×400) bridges the difference; see our adapter guide.
How wide is the 55U8K's stand?
Per the manufacturer's documentation, the 55U8K's factory stand is about 33.4 in wide and 12.6 in deep. Plan at least 36 in of flat, level surface: the panel can overhang the furniture, the stand cannot. If your console is narrower, a universal pedestal stand bolts into the 400×300 mm VESA holes instead.
What replacement remote works with the 55U8K?
Hisense U8K Voice Remote (part ERF6N64H) is the matching remote for the 55U8K. Bluetooth voice remote with mic - pairing required. Consistently listed by replacement sellers for the 55-85 in U8K line; Hisense's own parts store carries no U8K remote listing to verify against. Order by the part number rather than by TV size — one remote covers the whole platform.
Can the 55U8K be mounted on a full-motion bracket?
Yes. At 41.2 lb, the 55U8K is within range of full-motion arms rated 55 lb or higher — 5 full-motion mount(s) in our database clear it. Articulating arms add leverage on the wall, so stud anchoring per the mount manufacturer's instructions is more important than with fixed brackets.
