Screws & spacers for the UN55AU8000

The UN55AU8000 takes M8 bolts: M8 per Samsung owner's manuals (thread not stated on this spec sheet); 2021+ Samsung guides list shallower 11-13 mm hole depths than 2020 models - hand-test length. 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 (UN55AU8000) — retail variants can differ.

How to verify yourself

  1. Lay the TV screen-down on a soft, flat surface and locate the 4 threaded holes on the back.
  2. Measure horizontally between the centers of the upper holes, then vertically between an upper and a lower hole — in millimeters.
  3. Match the two numbers to a standard pattern (for the UN55AU8000: 200×200 mm). Full walkthrough with photos of what to avoid: how to measure VESA.

Frequently asked questions

What VESA pattern does the Samsung UN55AU8000 use?

The Samsung UN55AU8000 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 UN55AU8000 need for wall mounting?

The UN55AU8000 takes M8 metric screws. Documented length: M8 per Samsung owner's manuals (thread not stated on this spec sheet); 2021+ Samsung guides list shallower 11-13 mm hole depths than 2020 models - hand-test length. A bolt that is too long can bottom out and damage the panel or internals, so verify thread depth on the UN55AU8000 with a hand-tightened test screw before torquing anything down.

How much does the UN55AU8000 weigh without the stand?

The UN55AU8000 weighs 34.2 lb (15.5 kg) without the stand or cables. For a 20% safety margin, pick a mount rated for at least 45 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 UN55AU8000?

A bracket sold as 400×400-only will not line up with the UN55AU8000'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 UN55AU8000?

Samsung Voice Remote (TM2180A) (part BN59-01363C) is the matching remote for the UN55AU8000. Voice remote of the TM2180A family. Designated by OEM parts dealers for the AU8000 line; aftermarket listings also sell BN59-01363A and BN59-01350C/F as compatible - match the part number printed inside your remote's battery bay. Order by the part number rather than by TV size — one remote covers the whole platform.

Can the UN55AU8000 be mounted on a full-motion bracket?

Yes. At 34.2 lb, the UN55AU8000 is within range of full-motion arms rated 45 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.
