Hisense Readying Full-Featured Roku TVs for Online-Only Sales

China's Hisense, taking advantage of its tariff-immune manufacturing in Mexico, will sled into the holiday season mid-December with a pair of advanced Roku TVs, it announced Monday. The products will sell online only at Amazon and Walmart. “December is not the time retailers want to do a reset on their floor,” Chris Porter, director-product management, told us in New York. Sets will move into stores in Q1. Other TV brands have been asking the company to manufacture their product, said Jim Ninesling, head-marketing. The TVs' Hi-View chipset controls hardware and software and adds artificial intelligence to the user experience.
