Previously, until 2016, Samsung divided televisions into series 1 through series 9. Series 1-3 were reserved for televisions with kinescopes. But there was little or no application for outdated televisions. Series 4 through 9 were used for flat panel televisions. These were plasma TVs and LCD TVs, and then LED TVs.
As of 2017, QLED TVs were introduced and the series division no longer applied. But you should know that Samsung continues to divide TVs into groups. You can see this by visiting the website for developers at https://developer.samsung.com
What are the groups of Samsung TVs in 2021
The division into groups allows you to understand what class of devices the TV belongs to. In turn, this will help you decide on the choice of TV. For example, the entry-level TVs 2021 include models QAQ6D_K, QAQ60_K, QAQ50_K, UAUE60A, UAU7500, UAU7000, UAUE70A, UAU850D_K, UAU8000_K, UAU7700, LSP3, BEA_HB.
TV models UAU9070, UAU9000, QAQ6D, QAQ60, UAU850D, UAU8000, LS05AL is already a standard class.
Samsung TVs are divided into classes
- BASIC – the initial level of TVs, these televisions have cheap screens. As a rule, such TVs are produced for developing countries, the price of such a TV should be minimal.
- STANDARD are the televisions with good screens, but made by classical technology.
- PREMIUM – TVs with QLED screens. The PREMIUM class has subgroups
- PREMIUM 1 are the Q70, Q80, Q90 and Lifestyle range of 4K TVs.
- PREMIUM 2 is for 8K resolution.
- PREMIUM 3 are entry level 8K TVs
Depending on the year, the division of TVs into classes (groups) may change. In order to understand the TV model, disregard the first letter, for example, UAU9000. This is the AU9000 TV model.
