Here's what I got from somewhere on the web re. the Samsung TV model numbering scheme.
****************************************
The Samsung TV model can be broken down like so:
<TYPE><REGION><SIZE><YEAR><SERIES><VARIANT>[misc details]
Type:
L LCD
P Plasma
U LED

Region:
A Australia
E Europe
N North America

Year:
A 2008
B 2009
etc...

An example, the UN55B8500 is an 8 series (500 variant) 55" LED TV in North America from 2009.

The D8000 is a lovely design TV but the backlight bleed/clouding on it is horrendous! Unfortunate side effect of slim bezels
