Model Decoder

What does that model number actually say?

The same TV can carry a different number by size, year and country. Paste one and we look for the exact model in the catalog first, then read the number part by part. Anything we cannot read is marked unknown.

Where to find your model number

The number on the box and the label on the back of the TV is the most reliable. Settings menus usually list it too, often under support or about this TV.

  • Brand and family

    Letters at the start often show the brand family or the panel type.

  • Size

    Two or three digits usually give the screen size in inches. Some makers round to a size class.

  • Series and year

    The middle of the number names the series, and many makers put the model year in a letter or digit.

  • Region

    The ending often marks a country or retailer variant. Two numbers can be the same TV sold in different places.
