Q: What size screws do you get to mount this tv to a tv stand. I can not find a M8 screw 11-13mm length And 1.25mm pitch
A: Hi Angel, thanks for reaching out about Samsung 55" Class DU8000 HDR UHD 4K Smart TV - Black (UN55DU8000) The length of the screw is largely determined by the mounting confiugration of the stand, but the 200x200 VESA mount on the back of the TV uses M6 screws.

submitted byJustin - 6 months agoTarget expert supportA: Hi Angel, These screws are typically available at your local hardware store. The 11-13mm listed in the user manual is not the screw length. It’s the wall mount thread depth in the TV chassis. Make sure to add the wall mount bracket thickness to the thread depth for minimum screw length. If you cannot find the fitting screws, you could use washers (supplied with the wall mount) to adjust the length. ~Samsung Advisor
