Wouldn't surprise me, it simplifies the manufacturing and shipping. A lot of products are built like that. Features are limited through software.

DV cams with passthrough shipped to UK had that feature removed because it was taxed as VCR. If I recall correctly you could flash bios to enable it.

thecoalman is right, nowadays (from many years) family of devices share same HW and usually software - there are features activated by manufacturer to differentiate portfolio (frequently those options can be activated in service menu)

agree with pandy, that's the correct answer. anything that will make them save money! also saw it on some sonys

I’ve actually heard of that happening on certain Samsung models. They sometimes include extra tuner compatibility or dual voltage support depending on the region they were manufactured for. It’s not really “secret,” more like they standardize parts across markets. If you’re unsure, I’d recommend double-checking with samsung electronics customer service. They can confirm if your exact UE22D5000 unit is meant to handle NTSC-M and 110V safely.
