Leave a Comment
Here's how to find out if your Samsung TV supports Disney Plus.


Disney Plus is finally here. It was a long and painful wait for viewers outside the United States and the Netherlands - and: there is still a serious risk of not being able to escape the spoiler reports, especially for new programs such as The Mandalorian *, which have already been launched in said countries Months ago.

However, if you hope to be able to stream Disney Plus on a Samsung TV, there are limits to be aware of. This may mean that your device may be too old to support the brand new Disney Plus app.

Samsung has confirmed * that new Samsung TVs launched in 2016 will perfectly support the service. The app will be available for download on Samsung's Tizen Smart TV * platform - or pre-installed on the 2020 models - and will be compatible with the intelligent Bixby Assistant * for voice control options.

This is not unusual in itself: modern apps and streaming services are created with modern operating systems, and there comes a point where older software simply cannot cope with the code for a new application





Does my Samsung TV support Disney Plus?


Lots of Samsung TVs appear every year, and hopefully, you'll remember when you bought yours. If you are not sure, here is a rough guide to find out.

The easiest way is to check in the Apps section of the Samsung Smart TV platform whether you can see the Disney Plus app there.

You can find the serial code and model number on the back of your Samsung TV or go to Menu> Support> Contact Samsung to find this information digitally on newer Samsung Smart TVs.

In an example of the model number - UN55MU7000FXZA - the two letters after "55" refer to the year in which the product was launched. "MU" means that the model was released in 2017, so all model numbers indicating MU, NU, RU or Q support Disney Plus. Model numbers that use earlier letters of the alphabet, such as "F" (2013) does not support Disney Plus.

My Samsung TV has let me down! What should I do?
If your Samsung TV isn't up to the task of hosting the Disney Plus app, you have a few alternatives.

For one, Disney Plus is available on a variety of different platforms, including smartphones, tablets, PC, Xbox One and PS4 consoles, as well as Nvidia Shield TV, Roku streaming devices, Apple TV, Sky Q, Fire TV Stick and Google Chromecast. Hisense TVs, LG TVs and Philips TVs also support Disney Plus (if you own more than one TV).


If you cannot use any of these solutions, you should still have access to other TV streaming services on your Samsung TV, such as: B. Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV Plus.

Example: Samsung UN55MU7000FXZA:

2. 55: screen size (this is a 55 inch TV)
3. MU: Indicates the year in which the television was manufactured (MU is a 2017 model)
4,700: The last number is the series (higher is better, but usually also more expensive)
