Do leta 2016 je Samsung svoje televizorje razvrščal s sistemom serij od 1 do 9.
Serije 1–3 so bile namenjene CRT televizorjem. V praksi pa se ta razvrstitev skoraj ni uporabljala. Ko je bil sistem formaliziran, so bili CRT televizorji že v veliki meri umaknjeni iz proizvodnje, zato so bile te serije v bistvu rezervirane, a skoraj nikoli niso bile uporabljene za dejanske modele.
Serije 4–9 so se uporabljale za televizorje s ploščatim zaslonom. Sprva so vključevale plazma in LCD televizorje, kasneje pa so bili z razvojem tehnologije v ponudbo dodani tudi LED televizorji.
Leta 2017 je Samsung predstavil QLED TV televizorje, tradicionalna razvrstitev po serijah pa je bila ukinjena. Številčenje prav tako ni več odražalo dejanske hierarhije kakovosti slike. Na primer, QLED televizorji serije 7 so pogosto ponujali veliko boljšo kakovost slike kot modeli LED serije 9, kljub večji številki v stari LED liniji.
Vendar to ne pomeni, da je Samsung prenehal razvrščati svoje izdelke. Podjetje še vedno vsakemu modelu televizorja, monitorja ali projektorja dodeli določeno produktno linijo.
To strukturo si lahko ogledate na Samsungovi spletni strani za razvijalce https://developer.samsung.com, kar pomaga razumeti, kako Samsung organizira svoje naprave in kaj to pomeni za povprečnega potrošnika.
Kategorije in skupine Samsung televizorjev in monitorjev
Samsung svoje video prikazne naprave (televizorje, monitorje) deli na tri glavne kategorije: PREMIUM, STANDARD in BASIC. Vsaka kategorija lahko vključuje tudi več podkategorij, na primer PREMIUM 1 in PREMIUM 2. Te razvrstitve odražajo razlike v strojni platformi, uporabljeni v napravah. V praksi to pomeni, da so televizorji in monitorji različnih razredov zgrajeni na različnih ohišjih in matičnih ploščah.
Spodnja tabela prikazuje razvrstitev Samsung naprav in pojasnjuje, kateri razred pripada vsak model. Na primer, leta 2026 televizorji serij Crystal UH7000 in UH8000 spadajo v kategorijo Basic. Vendar spadajo v različne podskupine znotraj te kategorije, kar kaže na opazne razlike v njihovih notranjih komponentah in celotni strojni konfiguraciji. Za razumevanje modela televizorja prezrite prvo črko, na primer UAU9000. To je model televizorja AU9000.
Kategorije Samsung televizorjev 2012–2026
Podatki spodaj se lahko zdijo precej zapleteni, vendar so ključne točke dokaj preproste. Na primer, leta 2026 bo Samsung prenehal s proizvodnjo 8K televizorjev, ker je bila povpraševanje nizko in niso izpolnili pričakovanj — kar je bilo očitno že praktično od samega začetka prodaje.
Prav tako je vredno omeniti, da OLED televizorji serij 9 in 8 uporabljajo različna ohišja. Ta razlika ni posebej pomembna in je omenjena predvsem za informativne namene.
