What is the difference between serial and model number?
There are clear differences between serial and model numbers. The serial number is usually abbreviated to “SN” or “S/N” and is assigned individually for your copy of a product. Identical televisions therefore have different serial numbers. In this way, the tracking of your device can be guaranteed.
The model number, on the other hand, is assigned to televisions that have exactly the same model from a manufacturer. These devices all have the same construction, which is why you can get the most important information from them. Properties such as the country of manufacture, the size and the year of publication can be derived from this.
Where can you find the serial and model number?
There are a number of ways to find the serial and model number of your Hisense TV. We give you a brief overview:
Check the original packaging
After purchasing your Smart TV, it is advisable to take a photo of the original packaging and then save it in a cloud service. This way you don’t have to keep the packaging all the time and you still have the information sheet at hand when there is a repair or a customer service request.
On the back of your TV
It’s also a good idea to look for the model and serial number directly on the back of your TV if you’ve thrown away your original packaging. There is usually a label on the bottom left where you can easily read this information. Many modern televisions are now mounted on a wall in the living room, blocking access to the device. There are other alternatives for this.
Check your TV menu
Another option is to simply look up the model number in your TV’s menu. To do this, go to the “Settings” in the menu options. Depending on the TV model, you then go to either “System” or “Support” or “Help”. There you should be able to see an “About TV” or “About” option. After you click on it, the serial and model number of your Hisense TV should be listed here, among other things.
What does the model number mean?
You can easily read the most important functions of your television from your model number. In the following we explain the exact components. Depending on your Hisense TV model, features may vary in the order of your model numbers.
Size and TV area
Right at the beginning, the size of your television set is specified in the model number. In the “65U77HQ” example, the “65” means a screen diagonal of 65 inches. In the TV area, the screen type is usually classified, such as OLED TV, UHD and Full HD.
Origin
In the example “65U77HQ” the “U” stands for Europe. In other cases, there may be an “H” directly after the size, which means your TV is intended for sale in the US. With a “P” the Hisense TV is for Australia, with a “J” for Japan and with an “E” for China.
TV series and TV model
The first “7” in your model number represents the TV series your Hisense Smart TV is from. The second “7” also tells you the TV model. With OLED televisions, it can happen that this component is missing entirely.
Year of manufacture and year of sale
The next component of your model number relates to the year your TV was built and sold. The letter “H” stands for 2021/22. If you have a “G” it means 2020/21. So it goes down to “A” which stands for 2014/15.
design
At the end of the model number is the assignment to the draft design, such as a “Q” in this example. For some models, on the other hand, the year of development comes at the very end.
