Null: How to Set Up a New TV Out of the Box, Step by Step

The short version: lay the TV facedown on a table, attach the stand with the packed screws, walk through the on-screen setup, and let the TV install its updates.

The steps below follow Samsung’s published setup guide for its Smart Hub TVs, checked on the company’s support site as of October 2026, plus TCL’s wall-mount documentation. Menus shift between brands and model years, so treat the wording as a map rather than a script. The printed Quick Setup Guide in the box wins wherever the two disagree.
