Hisense, the China-based company that has already
taken over Sharp’s TV business, is certainly intent on making its mark in the
high end US TV market. A strong indication of this would be the 100-inch Laser
4K TV that has been presented as their flagship device, and you would do well
to have a rather fat bank account as well as room to spare in your apartment or
home if you would like to bring this monstrous TV home.
The Hisense 100-inch Laser 4K TV will make use of a
short-throw projector in order to send a 4K HDR picture onto the display,
taking the USB or HDMI route in the process. Not only that, there is UHD
upscaling capability to boot so that your older media will gain a boost in its
perceived resolution. To further sweeten the deal, it comes with a wide color
gamut support alongside 5.1 sound channel capability, sporting a pair of rear
speakers and a subwoofer that is nestled within. The asking price for this
behemoth? A pretty cool US$ 13,000, which would place it out of reach of many.
Other TVs that Hisense has on their list would be
pretty long — especially since Hisense would like to make a really big splash
in this department. In fact, there is a little bit of something for everyone
from this China manufacturer, ranging from the entry level all the way to the
high end as you have seen earlier. It does not matter whether you are Vizio,
Samsung, Sony, or LG, Hisense is clearly ramping up their efforts to take a
chunk out of the TV pie and have the arsenal of products to do so. It now
remains to be seen whether their marketing department is sleek enough to make
sure the brand invokes a sense of “I must have this!” in the psyches of the
masses.
