TV serial numbers are on back labels - but modern smart TVs also expose them through on-screen menus. This guide covers TVs, soundbars, receivers, and projectors.
Every TV has a serial number on a label on the back panel - typically near the power cord entry or in the lower center area. If the TV is wall-mounted, you may not be able to access the back label without dismounting.
Fortunately, every smart TV also exposes the serial number through the on-screen settings menu. This is often the fastest path, especially for wall-mounted TVs.
Soundbar serial numbers are typically on the bottom label or back panel. AV receivers have serial numbers on the rear panel, usually near the power connection or in the lower right area of the back panel.
Capture the serial number before wall-mounting. Once mounted, the back label is inaccessible - but the on-screen menu always works.
