Can anyone explain the INSANE labeling scheme for LD TVs????

I was trying to compare my current C9 to what has come out recently and have wandered into a confusing mess of model codes and numbers!

The numbering scheme makes no sense to me. Are they different feature sets? are they just upgrades? does the model number match the year?? No clue!

All I know is that you have A,B,C and G tv's but they are ranked in reverse order for quality.

G>C>B>A

And yes, the model # matches the year. G4 = 2024 model. G3 = 2023 model, etc.

I'm imagining they may be changing their model name scheme sometime soon, as there was already a 6 series back in 2016. Unless they wish to reuse the same model #'s over again, but that may cause some confusion.

2020’s CX was the “reset” year for the naming. 2021 and onward use the last digit of the model year in the model name (ex. C1 for 2021, C2 for 2022 and so on). And just like alwaysmyfault said, the higher up in the alphabet you get the higher end model TV it is. Not much else to it honestly. It’s actually one of the easier naming schemes in the TV industry imo… but that’s neither here nor there. 🙂

That makes so much sense.

I guess it doesn't help that I bought my c9 in 2021!

C9 is from 2019. I've bought my 65c9 2019

The order of C models from 2019 onwards is C9, CX, C1, C2, C3, C4. They match the year.  You'll see the same number for each year with the G and B models.

Can't wait to replace my C7 with a new C7.

As others have said the C9 launched in 2019. The biggest difference between the C4 and the C9 is a brighter EVO Panel, and 144Hz for PC gaming. The biggest difference between the C9 and G4 is the new A11 Processor, MLA Technology, Brightness Booster Max Technology, Dolby Vision Filmmaker Mode, and 144Hz. DTS audio is also supported on newer models.

There's also the M Series which uses a wireless Zero Connect Box with three HDMI 2.1 ports. It's more expensive, and I don't see where it would be practical in most living rooms or home theater setups. You typically have your AV equipment on or in your entertainment center so I don't see how people would configure a room where it would make sense.

If you're looking to upgrade, I'd recommend going a size up instead of going from a C9 65" to a C4 65" unless you absolutely need 144Hz. You'll notice more of a difference if you step up the G series.

Maybe they’ll take a page out of Apple handbooks and we’ll see C6-s lol

I have a B6, a C9, and a C3.

B6 - 2016, C9 - 2019, C3 - 2023.

C is better than B. G is better than C.
