The model number and serial number on the sticker and in the TV menu do not match
A mismatch between the model number and the serial number on the sticker and in the TV menu can only occur if the TV has been repaired and the main board replaced. Since the serial number and model number are stored in the main board memory and the sticker is printed and glued at the factory, when the main board is replaced, the serial number and, therefore, the model number will not match the serial number and model number on the TV menu.
