I found a site online that said the "D" designates wholesale clubs like Sam's and Costco and they also specifically drop the extra zero, it's the same TV and they do the same thing with several models.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The 8000FXZA is the standard model in Samsung's line-up, sold to most retailers, and featured on Samsung's website. The 800DFXZA, is what is known in the retail trade as a derivative model, which are typically sold at some specialty retailers, such as warehouse clubs or possibly some internet-only retailers. But some retailers may also sell derivative models as part of their line-up, too. The two models are realistically twins - the same unit with often very minor differences, if any, such as, possibly, the color of the frame/bezel (silver vs. black, for example), or possibly a painted stand vs. a chrome plated one, a slightly different remote control unit, the inclusion or deletion of, say, an additional HDMI or other jacks on the back panel. Or one version may have a slightly different or longer warranty program than the other version. Retailers that advertise price-match policies to prices of other retailers for a standard model will often not price-match to a derivative model, due to the fact that it is technically not same model number as that of the standard model, even though the two models may be and usually are virtually and functionally identical.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not that I've found. It's just the usual shenanigans that manufacturers do to keep consumers from price matching. Also, some retailers (like Costco) like to have their own exclusive model numbers. We've found this on many products. We found the 800D at Costco and tried to compare to the 8000 on the Samsung site and elsewhere. We couldn't find any difference, but then these spec sheets online aren't always complete. So, I can't say with certainty they're identical, but any difference probably wouldn't be significant to the average (or even above average!) consumer.
