Product Information

Information about the maximum vertical viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. In 2017 on out, Samsung has been installing full sets of tuners in its TVs according to the standards used in the country for which the TVs are made. That’s why the model numbers also became even longer, where the last two letters indicate the country. There are various panel technologies. Each has its own specific features - viewing angles, color reproduction, response time, brightness/contrast, production cost, etc. The image quality depends directly on the type of the display panel used. The UE43J5500 comes with essential features such as digital tuners for HD channels and the ability to pause, rewind or record live TV shows using an external USB storage device. It also has an energy-efficient design, complying with environmental standards.

Approximate height of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. The dynamic contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce over time, for example, in the course of playing a video. In terms of design, the television exhibits a sleek and modern appearance with slim bezels and a sturdy stand. Its user interface is intuitive, making it easy to navigate through the various settings and features. In 2019, Samsung changed how it assigns serial numbers to QLED TVs. All QLED serial numbers now start with the prefix Q, before the letter that indicates the region. After that, there’s the screen size in inches, followed by another Q for Quantum Dot TV. This is followed by the series number, which at the moment is limited to either 90 for UHD or 900 for 8K.

How to Find the Model Number of Your Samsung TV?

The percentage of the approximate area, taken by the active part of the screen, to the total front area. Approximate width of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the width is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. The pixel pitch shows the distance from the centers of two neighboring pixels. In displays, which have a native resolution (the TFT ones, for example), the pixel pitch depends on the resolution and the size of the screen.

Approximate diagonal size of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the diagonal is calculated from the width and height of the screen. Information about the maximum horizontal viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality.ZA, for example, indicates that the TV was assembled for the US market, ZC for Canada, XU for the UK, and XY for Australia. This is great because your TV now comes with the right tuner for your country. Frequently, horizontal lines, especially on a portion of the screen can be traced to a bad LCD panel. This can be a very expensive repair, as well as a somewhat complicated task to perform, but don't despair. There is a workaround available that takes some skill but can restore your TV to near-original glory. Let's walk through it a bit. Desktop monitors and smart TVs experience a latency/lag in visualizing the information. The time in milliseconds that the display needs to visualize the signal input.

Dimensions, weight and color Information about the dimensions and the weight of the specific model with and without stand as well as the colors, in which it is offered to the market. Width Overall I'm happy with the ins and outs, though I'm conscious that anyone with a Blu-ray player, a set-top box and a games console – hardly a particularly high-end haul of AV gear – will be maxing-out those three HDMI inputs. Ditto those USB slots, too; the UE48H5500 is reasonably well connected, but there are much better endowed models just above it in Samsung's vast range of TVs. Hardware However, its side-panel is graced by all the key connections, housing two more HDMI inputs, two USB slots and a feed for the built-in Freeview HD tuner. Unlike TVs further up the Samsung food-chain there's no integrated Freesat HD satellite TV tuner, though that's really only a selling point if you're in a rural area troubled by dodgy Freeview HD signals.

Understanding Model Numbers Before 2017

There’s a slight difference in the numbering models of before and after 2017. Even if you’re certain that your TV is year 2017 or later, you’ll want to read the rest of this section before moving on to the next. (The first 10 characters of the model number still carry the same info.) If the problem stays the same, try another source in the original port and see if the problem disappears. If it does the problem is in your source.
