LG has three marking standards: for regular models, OLED, and for NanoCell and QNED TVs. Let's start in order.

1. Marking of regular TVs

  1. Screen diagonal in inches.
  2. Screen resolution:
    • U — Ultra HD 4K;
    • L — budget models Full HD (1080p) and HD (720p);
  3. Year of issue:
    • T – 2024;
    • R – 2023;
    • Q – 2022;
    • P – 2021;
    • N — 2020.
  4. Series number. Depending on the year of manufacture, series combine certain technologies. The higher the series, the more extensive the functionality implemented.
  5. Model in series.
  6. Design features. May characterize the type of stand, frame or case color.
  7. Sales region.
  8. Digital tuner type:
    • L — DVB-T/T2/T2HD/C/S/S2;
    • U — ATSC, Clear QAM;
    • N — ATSC 3.0 – ATSC 1.0.
  9. Model modification. There is no exact information here, but at the moment the marking "A" is almost always used.

  • T — TV 2024;
  • 8 - the eighth series;
  • 1 — model in series;

2. OLED model markings

  1. Matrix type.
  2. Screen diagonal in inches.
  3. Model. The letter combines technical characteristics, technology support and other features.
  4. Year of issue:
    • 4 — 2024;
    • 3 — 2023;
    • 2 — 2022;
    • 1 — 2021.
      • Thus, the usual colloquial “LG C1” or “LG C4” mean the 2021 or 2024 C model, respectively.
  5. Sales region.

    • L — DVB-T/T2/T2HD/C/S/S2;

3. NanoCell and QNED Model Markings

We finish the article with the marking of NanoCell and QNED models. These types of TVs are very close, because QNED is a combination of NanoCell sensor with quantum dot technology.

  1. Screen diagonal in inches.
  2. Matrix type. “NANO” (from NanoCell) or “QNED” – indicated for greater recognition and quick identification of TVs.
  3. Series. As usual, the higher the number, the wider the model's capabilities.
  4. Model in series.

    • T – 2024;
    • R – 2023;
    • Q – 2022;
    • P – 2021;
    • N — 2020.
  6. Sales region. Until 2024 — year of development. The type of installed tuner may also depend on it (for example, for Europe it is DVB, and for the USA and Canada — ATSC, Clear QAM).
  7. Modification of the model.
