Screws & spacers for the UN50TU8000
The UN50TU8000 takes M8 bolts: M8 (1.25 mm pitch) x 20-22 mm per Samsung's 2020 TU8000 mounting guide (43-55 in row). 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.

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 200 mm across and 200 mm vertically.
- Compare the model number on the back-panel sticker with the one on this page (UN50TU8000) — 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 UN50TU8000: 200×200 mm). Full walkthrough with photos of what to avoid: how to measure VESA.
Frequently asked questions
What VESA pattern does the Samsung UN50TU8000 use?
The Samsung UN50TU8000 uses a 200×200 mm VESA pattern — 200 mm between hole centers horizontally and 200 mm vertically (about 7.9×7.9 in). Any bracket whose supported range covers 200×200 mm will line up. Confirm on the back panel before ordering, since retail variants of a series occasionally differ.
What size screws does the UN50TU8000 need for wall mounting?
The UN50TU8000 takes M8 metric screws. Documented length: M8 (1.25 mm pitch) x 20-22 mm per Samsung's 2020 TU8000 mounting guide (43-55 in row). A bolt that is too long can bottom out and damage the panel or internals, so verify thread depth on the UN50TU8000 with a hand-tightened test screw before torquing anything down.
How much does the UN50TU8000 weigh without the stand?
The UN50TU8000 weighs 25.1 lb (11.4 kg) without the stand or cables. For a 20% safety margin, pick a mount rated for at least 35 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 400×400 mount fit the UN50TU8000?
A bracket sold as 400×400-only will not line up with the UN50TU8000's 200×200 mm holes. Most 400×400 mounts, however, support a range of patterns — if the spec sheet lists 200×200 mm, it fits directly. If not, a VESA adapter plate (200×200→400×400) bridges the difference; see our adapter guide.
What replacement remote works with the UN50TU8000?
Samsung Smart Remote (RMCSPR1AP1) (part BN59-01330A) is the matching remote for the UN50TU8000. Bluetooth/RF voice remote with IR fallback. Listed by OEM parts dealers as the part originally shipped with the TU8000 line; BN59-01330E is the substitute part. Order by the part number rather than by TV size — one remote covers the whole platform.
Can the UN50TU8000 be mounted on a full-motion bracket?
Yes. At 25.1 lb, the UN50TU8000 is within range of full-motion arms rated 35 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.
