What does the TCL TV model number mean

Chinese concern TCL presents its TVs under the brand name TCL, Thomson, RCA, Rowa. The names of the TVs for each region are different, if the Thomson trademark was popular in Europe and most TVs go on sale under this name.

The designation of the model number of TCL TVs for different regions differs very significantly, this suggests that TCL does not develop TV models. TCL builds televisions based on market needs and component availability. Therefore, if in America there are two plants, they are focused on the assembly of televisions for North America and the designation of the model number of televisions in this region is adapted for the region. In addition, TVs with the pre-installed Roku TV online service are supplied for the United States. For Europe, other TV models are produced.
