Technology for Better Life, Creating a Perfect Tournament Experience
Before FIFA World Cup Russia 2018™ kicked off, FIFA headquarters welcomed the world’s first Dual Color 100-inch 4K Hisense Laser TV L7. Today, Hisense successfully obtained FIFA’s recognition and again installed 3 new Laser TVs at FIFA headquarters. Ahead of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™, through its state-of-art technology, Hisense presented a higher level of tournament viewing experience with the world’s first Tri-Chroma Laser TV L9G for FIFA headquarters. During the meetings, executives from both sides enjoyed an exciting tournament together using Hisense Laser TV L9G.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino expressed at the Hisense Open Day event before, "Hisense’s compelling products and cutting-edge technology will provide football fans with an amazing viewing experience. Through technological innovation, we will join forces to bring fans an unforgettable FIFA World Cup."
In addition to receiving recognition from FIFA, Hisense Laser TV has also gained recognition from many global consumers. As Hisense’s premium product, Hisense Laser TV has appeared in international events such as the Harvard China Forum and the United Nations Chinese Day, and entered the royal family in UAE, becoming one of consumers’ best choices. From January to June this year, Hisense Laser TV sales in Australia, France, Canada, and other overseas markets have exceeded last year’s annual sales.
Building a Sustainable Future through Close Collaboration
