Modern Samsung TVs have detachable power cables, which makes transportation easier, but increases the chance of losing the cable. If you need a replacement Samsung TV power cable, here’s a guide to help you choose the right one.
Are all Samsung TV power cables the same?
Not all Samsung TV power cables are interchangeable. While some models may use the same type of cable, Samsung makes different models of TVs, each with potentially different power cable requirements. Power cables may have different plug types depending on regional standards as well as different cross-sections of internal conductors, for example an LED TV with a screen size of 50 inches draws about 200 watts while an OLED TV with a screen size of 77 inches draws about 600 watts.
Another important detail to consider is the type of plug on the power cable. Power cables come with either straight plugs or 90-degree angled plugs. While these cables are interchangeable, a bent plug is more practical if your TV is wall-mounted and the power connector is positioned perpendicular to the screen.
How to choose the right power cable for your Samsung TV
- Check the owner’s manual: this is a common tip, but Samsung doesn’t specify the type of cable that comes with the TV, so this tip doesn’t work.
- Compare to the original cable: If you still have an old power cable, take it to the store. A sales representative can help you find a suitable replacement power cable for your Samsung TV.
- Search online: Use the model number of your Samsung TV to find a compatible power cable. Samsung’s website or trusted retailers like Amazon can help you find the right power cable for your Samsung TV.
- Ask a store for help: If you’re unsure, consult an employee at an electronics store. It’s usually quite common for consultants to know which power cable to use for your TV.
