In the box
In the box	TM2360E remote controller, power cable and user manual. Samsung’s US 12 April 2024 notice confirms the series was on sale that month; UK April coverage still described pre-orders, so this release month is not a UK first-sale claim	Table-top stand, voice remote, batteries, power cord and instructions. UK model codes are XH9005, with XH9096 for 85-inch; X900H is the North American family name. Maker US 20 April 2020 record offered 65/75-inch pre-orders and planned summer 55/85-inch ordering, not first sale. Maker China’s March/April release says its spring family launched first there, without an exact X9000H sale date; T3 gives only summer 2020. Release remains conservative 2020 after this bounded gap.
