What Samsung Smart TV Do I Have? How to Identify Your Model

Samsung makes dozens of different smart TV models every year ranging from giant 98-inch screens to compact 32-inch sets. With so many options out there, you may not remember exactly which Samsung smart TV you purchased.

Figuring out your Samsung TV model can be useful for several reasons:

• Looking up your user manual and feature list
• Finding compatible accessories and stands
• Seeing if a firmware update is available
• Troubleshooting problems
• Selling or insuring your TV

Fortunately, it only takes a few steps to identify which Samsung smart TV you own. Here are several methods to determine your Samsung TV model number and name.

Check the Label on the Back of the TV

The quickest way to find your Samsung smart TV model is to look on the rear label.

Step 1: Locate the panel on the back of your TV near the bottom right. It should have a barcode and several lines of text.

Step 2: Look for the model number on the label. This will be a combination of letters and numbers like UN50TU7000FXZA or QN65Q70AAFXZA.

Step 3: Search the model number on Samsung’s website or use the guide below to interpret what it means.

This method works for any Samsung TV, but the label is often hidden on wall-mounted TVs. If you can’t see the label, try using the TV’s menu instead.

Check the Menu Settings

All Samsung TVs have an info page in their menu that shows the model number:

Step 1: Use your remote to select Settings or Menu and go to the Support or System Information section.

Step 2: Select About This TV or About Device.

Step 3: Find the model code under Model Code or Model.

Some models simply show the model name like “Q60T QLED 4K UHD TV” but the model number will be listed too.

Write down the full model number code and refer to the guides below to identify your exact Samsung smart TV model.

Decode Your Samsung TV Model Number

Samsung TV model numbers look complicated but each digit and letter provides information about that specific model.

Here is how to interpret a Samsung TV model number:

• The first 1-2 letters show the TV type. Examples:
  • Q = QLED
  • LS = Lifestyle TV like The Frame
  • TU = Standard LED TV
• The next letter indicates the region like N for North America.
• The first number is the screen size in inches.
• The next few letters/numbers describe the model series/year. Like Q60T or NU8000.
• The last 3 letters indicate country and tuner type.

So for instance, in the model UN55TU8000FXZA:

• UN = LED TV
• 55 = 55-inch screen
• TU8000 = Model series
• F = ATSC tuner for North America
• XZ = Styling code
• A = Made for USA

Use the guides below for more details on deciphering Samsung model codes by year. This will help you pinpoint your exact model and year it was released.

First 1-2 Letters – TV Type

• Q = QLED TV
• S = OLED TV
• LS = Lifestyle TVs like The Frame, Serif, Sero
• TU = Standard LED TV
• AU = Standard UHD TV

Second Letter – Region

• N = North America

First Number – Screen Size

This is the TV viewable screen size measured diagonally in inches:

• Q60T = QLED 60 Series 2020

Last 3 Letters – Country and Tuner

The last 3 letters identify features like country and tuner:

• F = ATSC Tuner for North America

So putting it all together, UN55AU8000FXZA decodes as:

• UN = LED TV
• 55 = 55-inch screen
• AU8000 = 8000 UHD Series 2021
• F = ATSC Tuner
• XZ = Styling
• A = Made for USA

This breakdown helps you understand what these model codes mean on any 2017-2022 Samsung TV.

Identify Older Models (2016 and Earlier)

Vintage Samsung TV model numbers from 2016 and earlier also have decoding schemes:

First Two Letters – TV Type

• LN = LCD TV
• PN = Plasma TV
• UN = LED TV
• MU = UHD TV
• HU = Curved UHD TV

First Number – Screen Size

The initial number is the screen size in inches: 60, 55, 46, 40, etc.

This indicates the model series like 6300, 7500, 8000.

Third Letter – Year

The third letter identifies the model year:

• J = 2015
• H = 2014

Final Letters

The last digits specify country and features:

• F = North America
• A = Asia

• F = North America
