Understanding TV model numbers and why they matter

Understanding TV model numbers is essential for anyone looking to compare features, check specifications, or make an informed purchase. A model number reveals key details like screen size, display technology, resolution, and series, helping buyers identify the right TV for their needs. It also makes it easier to find compatible accessories, software updates, or service support. For shoppers, this means better decision-making, value for money, and confidence in choosing the right product.


If you are planning to buy a Tv, visit any one of Bajaj Finserv’s 1.5 lakh partner stores in 4,000 cities in India. Choose your ideal model, pay with Easy EMIs, and enjoy zero down payment on select deals. Simply check your loan eligibility now and bring home your desired product without worrying about overspending.

Where to find TV model number on your device

Finding your TV model number is simple once you know where to look. It is usually printed on the device or accessible through on-screen settings, depending on your TV type.


  • Check the back panel: Look for a sticker or label on the rear of the TV that displays the model number, serial number, and other specifications.
  • Inspect side or bottom edges: On slim TVs, the model number label may be placed along the side or bottom frame for a cleaner design.
  • Use the TV settings menu: Go to “Settings” → “Support” → “About” or “Device Information” to find the model number on-screen.
  • Refer to the packaging box: The original TV box usually has the model number printed on it along with other product details.
  • Check the user manual: If you still have the manual, it often lists the model number on the cover or first few pages.

How to check TV model number using the Settings menu

Checking your TV model number through the Settings menu is quick and doesn’t require moving your TV. Follow these simple steps:


  • Turn on your TV: Ensure your TV is powered on and functioning properly.
  • Press the Menu or Settings button: Use your remote control to open the main settings menu.
  • Navigate to “Support” or “About”: Scroll through options like “Support,” “System,” or “About Device,” depending on your TV brand.
  • Select “Device Information”: Look for sections labeled “Device Info,” “Product Info,” or “System Information.”
  • Locate the model number: Your TV model number will be displayed along with other details like serial number and software version.

This method is especially useful for wall-mounted TVs where accessing the back label is difficult.

How to find your TV model number without a remote

If you don’t have your remote, you can still find your TV model number using a few simple methods:


  • Check the back panel: Look for a sticker or label on the rear of the TV. It usually lists the model number, serial number, and other key details.
  • Inspect the side or bottom frame: Some modern TVs place the label along the edges for a cleaner look, so check carefully.
  • Use physical buttons on the TV: Press the built-in buttons (Power/Menu) to access basic on-screen settings. Navigate to “About” or “Device Info” if available.
  • Look at the original packaging: The box your TV came in often has the model number printed clearly.
  • Refer to the user manual or invoice: These documents usually include the model number for identification and warranty purposes.
