LG TV markings - features, explanation and examples

LG is a South Korean company that produces various household appliances. The brand's TVs are very popular. Many people, while in a store and looking at the price tags of devices, noticed that some letters and numbers were written on it. Not everyone knows their meaning, and this is the marking of LG TVs. By deciphering it, you can find out a lot of information about the technology: year of manufacture, screen manufacturing technology and its size, series, etc. There is no uniform labeling standard, so each brand has its own.

Diagonal size

The numbers in front of the marking indicate the screen diagonal in inches. An inch equals 2.54 cm. The price of TVs fluctuates depending on the diagonal size, and even a small increase in size can have a big impact financially. Therefore, before purchasing, you need to calculate the area of ​​the room where the TV receiver will be installed. The most popular TVs on the market are from 32 to 55 inches.

Where to see the IP address of a Samsung TV

All devices that connect to the Internet have personal coordinates indicating their location in a given location. The code is indicated by 4 groups of numbers separated by dots. You should find out the address of the Samsung TV after connecting it via a cable to the modem.

To find the IP address, just go to the Menu, section “Support”. Then select the designation “network”, it is on this page that it is listed. If instead of numbers there are only zeros, then the equipment is not connected to the network. All that remains is to determine the cause and try to connect to the Internet again.

To recognize the device when it is operating from the network, there is a MAC address. It is indicated on Samsung Smart TV by pairs of numbers and letters separated by a dash. Its knowledge is required extremely rarely, only for equipment settings.

To find the MAC address, you must follow the steps using the remote control.

1. Go to the menu. Open the Support section.
2. Open the Contact Samsung page.
3. Scroll further through the page with the code; to do this, just press the down arrow on the remote control.

Below the list of different versions are the MAC addresses of the TV with cable and wireless connection. They start with f8 and differ in the second part of the code.

If the IP address changes when connecting to another modem or after turning off the equipment, then the MAC address does not change and, on this TV, remains constant as an individual number.

This is one of their unique identification codes. In this part of the page, if desired, you can see the serial number, the unique ID of the TV and the code of other devices.

When contacting a service center or purchasing additional devices, it may be very important to know the exact model of your TV. On the back wall of each device there is a so-called “nameplate” - a plate with information about the technical characteristics of the device. However, the nameplate may be damaged or torn off. Also, sometimes it cannot be seen due to the fact that the TV case was tightly fixed to the wall. In this case, you will have to find the necessary information in another way.

Types of displays

Using the markings in the name of the television receiver, you can understand the display manufacturing technology: from liquid crystal displays to OLED displays. The display type can be identified by the letter that appears immediately after the screen diagonal value. Explanation of displays:

• E — OLED screen;
• U - LED displays with Ultra HD resolution;
• S - LCD displays with backlighting of Nano Cell quantum dots;
• L — LCD displays with LED backlighting and HD resolution;
• C - LCD with a liquid crystal matrix, the backlight is powered by a fluorescent lamp;
• R - Plasma.

The last 2 types of displays are not currently in production.

Year of construction

After the abbreviation for the type of display, the markings indicate the year of manufacture of the TV. Each value differs not only in its release date, but also implies the presence of certain functions:

• 2019 - M for LCD; 9 for OLED;
• 2018 - K for LCD; 8 for OLED;
• 2017 - J for LCD; 7 for OLED;
• 2016 - N for LCD; 6 for OLED;
• 2015 - F flat screen; G for curved display;
• 2014 - B;
• 2013 – N, A (A with 3D function, N without 3D);

Further in the marking the series and series number are used. The higher the number, the more technologies the TV supports. The series designation ranges from 4 to 9.

In addition, there is a difference in the selection of 3D functions and depends on the components used. The characteristics of the characteristics change every year and the older series may move into the junior category, so for complete information it is recommended to visit the official LG website.

After the series number in the markings, the values ​​of the model in the series and model modifications follow. The higher the digital value, the better the TV's performance.

How to choose a modern TV from LG

The right choice of a good and functional LG TV depends on a number of factors. You can start with such a parameter as the screen refresh rate, then it is advisable to consider a value of 100 Hz. At the same time, the diagonal must be appropriate - at least 65 inches.

For connoisseurs of perfect images, a screen resolution of 3840x2160 is suitable. There is a 4K Ultra HD format here. Full HD TVs with a resolution of 1920x1080 will have a lower cost. In both cases, the picture will be bright and dynamic.

Clear and surround sound is not the least important thing when choosing a device from LG. Typically, the line of these TVs has 2 speakers, but expensive models have 4 or 6. The power varies - from 5 to 10 W. For complete comfort, some models have Dolby Digital decoders

A multi-channel digital sound system developed for cinemas and subsequently introduced into televisions. The system generates surround sound, supporting multiple speakers, for example, 5.1 with a subwoofer, two front, two rear and one center speaker. Competitor of the Dolby system.

New products from the LG television brand always delight users. Even more technologically advanced models may appear in the future. And if you have problems choosing a TV from LG, there are discussions on this subject on specialized forums and reviews from specialists.

Tuner

At the end of the marking, the tuner designation is used to receive the signal. The current markings are as follows:

• T - DVB-T/T2, DVB-C;
• S - DVB-T, DVB-C, DVB-S/S2;
• V - DVB-T/T2, DVB-C, DVB-S/S2;
• C - DVB-T, DVB-C.

To clearly illustrate the meaning of the marking, let’s take the LG 49SJ810V model. Detailed analysis of markings:

• 49 — diagonal value;
• S - liquid crystal matrix, and the backlight is quantum dots, 4K resolution;
• J — year of assembly 2017;
• 8 — series number;
• 1 and 0 - series modification, appearance values ​​and differences in parameters are applied;
• V - tuner values.

Why do people choose kompressor?

The vacuum cleaner compressor from lies is a modern and popular model. Most models of the lg series are similar in appearance and technical characteristics. The main criteria influencing the choice of this model:

• High suction power
• Dust pressing system kompressor
• Low noise level
• Compactness of the model

The main feature of this line of vacuum cleaners is the presence of a turbocyclone system for easy cleaning of the vortex flow from small dust particles. The vortex flow is divided into 2 directions: the first goes directly to the dust collector, the second goes to the next one

cleaning stage. The air flow enters the plastic container at an angle, thereby twisting and compressing. The dust collector for collecting debris, dirt and dust is made of polycarbonate. This material increases the service life due to the strength of the material. Due to the compression of the collected dust in the container, hygienic cleansing of the contents is achieved and human contact with dirt is completely eliminated.

The main differences between vacuum cleaners of this brand: the presence of power adjustment, a set of additional accessories, and the presence of a hepa filter element.

The following popular inexpensive models are distinguished:

6. The symbol following the digital designation indicates the type of handles. S - door with a hidden handle, T - with a hidden handle and lighting, Y - door with a handle, A - door with a hidden button, U - double door to the full height of the refrigerator, J - door to the full height of the refrigerator. B indicates that the refrigerator doors are equipped with straight, flat handles.
7. The next designation is the color scheme of the device body. Q - matte black, B - black, N - black + steel, M - silver, E - beige, V - white, A - steel; L – silver, G – doors – glass.
8. The penultimate symbol is the model indicators. Q and F indicate the presence of LED lighting inside or outside. If the equipment has a dispenser, there is a letter P, an LCD display - J. If there is both, the designation K is given.
