The TVs for North America are assembled in Mexico so the TVs for the US and Canada are exactly the same in terms of model numbers and specifications. For Mexico the model numbers are slightly different, but the principle of division into series is very similar.
The Samsung Crystal UHD 2024 lineup for North America includes four models, each with its own features.

Samsung TVs in retail stores, models DU6900, DU7200, DU8000, DU9000
US retail stores may carry variations of these models, with different model numbers, such as the DU8000B. Samsung manufactures these alternate versions specifically for wholesale distributors, giving discounts, and there is a practice of making small improvements to these TVs that will set them apart from the base TV. You can see these TV models at Walmart or Best Buy.
