Marking and "evolution" of Samsung TV devices
Since 2008, this manufacturer began to use uniform standard designations for its televisions. Such conditional markers are very informative.
The first letter indicates the type of matrix and backlight:
- L - LCD panel is illuminated by fluorescent lamps;
- C - bulb with focusing rays;
- U - LCD panel is illuminated by LEDs;
- P - plasma panel with gas discharge pixels;
- K - no backlight.
The second letter of the marking indicates continental affiliation:
- E - European countries;
- N - Korea and the American continents;
- A - Asian countries, Australia, Africa;
- S - Iran.
The number that follows the two letters is the inches of the screen. Following it is the letter corresponding to the year of issue. And the last designation is a combination of two letters that define the standard of the received channels. So, the declared conventions help determine:
- screen size and resolution;
- when the device was released;
- the territory for which this model was developed;
- selectively technical features.
Among Samsung TVs, units can be purchased for every taste in a completely different price category. Previously, the company produced three types of TVs: LCD, LED and plasma. Gradually, in 2013 they refused CCFL backlighting and now all LCD TVs of this company have backlighting from LEDs.
Over time, their range began to expand UHD-TVs that support 4K resolution and Smart TV systems. From year to year they develop additional technical innovations that allow the TV to become a real multimedia center.
