"Through the demonstrated abilities of their network, we will be better able to meet the needs of schools, offices, retailers, malls, houses of worship, among others, in smaller markets everywhere," Anderson emphasized.

Hisense USA offers the most innovative series of high-end flat-panel televisions that includes a full range of HD TVs to 4k ULED TVs as well as an expanded line of Laser TV products. Laser TV allows the end user the ease of setting up an Ultra Short Throw (UST) projector and an Ambient Light Reflecting (ALR) Screen to enjoy up 100" or 120" of stunning realistic picture quality.
