As screen sizes over 100 inches rapidly gain traction, Hisense's new TVs imply the company's aggressive push into the home-theater segment. However, at such high prices, they are still niche offerings. Both TVs are now officially listed on Best Buy, however, the webpage shows their status as "Unavailable".
