TVs can have a lot of different features that need to be somehow in the model name.

You need to have the size in inches in there, the technology like LCD, LED whatever, whether it is smart or dumb, the generation often in the form of the year.

Bigger companies have also more than one models that are higher end but otherwise use the same tech and are the same size.

You don’t want the model name to be too long so you have maybe one or two letters /digits for each thing you are describing.

This way you can reduce a paragraph of identifying description down to a single short string of letters and numbers that someone in the know understands and for everyone else at least means they can uniquely identified the exact model.
