Differences in monitor model numbers in different countries are mainly due to differences in technical specifications and after-sales service. Technically, these differences are often related to the voltage of the electrical grid in each region. Additionally, these differences help reduce warranty costs by allowing Samsung to offer warranties longer than 12 months while minimizing repair costs. It is important to note that a monitor designed for one country’s market is not eligible for warranty repair in another country.
