Ultimate Samsung TV Model Number Guide
This "review" is less of a review and more of a guide you can use to decipher what the model numbers mean. It took me a while to do this research so I hope it helps others on their quest for a new TV.
I'm going to use one of the currently best selling ones on amazon as an example see link below.

U refers to the technology (U: LED LCD, L: CCFL LCD, P: Plasma) generally everything in 2013 and newer will be U because it's more power efficient.
N refers to North America
46 refers to the size. Size options vary by series and include 19,22,29,32,40,46,50,55,60,65,70,75,85. Yes that's an 85 at the end. If you buy one of these please invite me to your house for the Superbowl, I'll bring beer. Check it out below.

E refers to the year of manufacture (F:2013, E:2012, D:2011, C:2010, etc)
H or S (if present) refers to the type of backlighting (S: Sidelit, H: Backlit)
5300 refers to the series. A 2013 Samsung guide for features of all series is found here http://www.samsung.com/us/download/2013_LED_Comparison_Grid_v7.pdf
My example model didn't have any model suffix but if you see an FXZA it refers to the place it was sold. For US model TV's you will see this sometimes.
If it helped please pay it forward and vote helpful below so others can benefit too. Thanks!
