Philips is no exception and, like many other brands, uses several marking schemes for its TVs: one for OLED, and another for all other models. Let's start with the main scheme.

1. Marking of classic TVs

  1. Screen diagonal in ".
  2. Device type. Until 2014, the letter "P" stood for "Philips". In any case, the symbol is unchanged.
  3. Screen resolution and backlight type:
    • U — UHD (Ultra HD 4K);
    • M — UHD TV with Mini LED backlight;
    • F — Full HD (1080p);
    • H — HD (720p).
  4. Digital tuner type:
    • T — DVB-T/T2/C;
    • S — DVB-T/T2/C/S/S2 (in modern models, “S” is most often found).
  5. Series. Series group TV models, uniting them by their main technical characteristics. The higher the series, the more features and technologies are implemented.
  6. Model in a series. Thus, the first two digits define the entire basic set of parameters and positioning relative to other models.
  7. Design. Marking may differ depending on the year of manufacture and TV series, so there is no need to look for an exact pattern.
  8. Year of issue:
    • 9 - 2024 (previously 2014);
    • 8 – 2023 (previously 2013);
    • 7 - 2022 and so on.
  9. Sales region:
    • 12 - Europe;
    • F7 - USA and Canada, and a number of others.

2. OLED model markings

Now let's look at the OLED TV marking. It is similar to the main one in many ways, but has some differences.

  1. Screen diagonal in ".
  2. Matrix type.
  3. Series.
  4. Design. As we have already mentioned, it is very difficult to trace specific patterns here.
  5. Year of issue:
    • 9 - 2024 (previously 2014);
    • 8 – 2023 (previously 2013);
    • 7 - 2022 and so on.
  6. Sales region:
    • 12 - Europe;
    • F7 - USA and Canada, and others.
