With Advanced Sports Mode features on Hisense televisions, sports enthusiasts can immerse themselves in the action and enjoy the thrill of live NRL games in crisp, clear and true-to-life definition, just as they're intended to be. At the same time, with rugby events as the main line, Hisense Australia will promote online and offline promotion, deepen cooperation with key retailers, so as to focus on the exposure of Hisense brand, and enhance consumers' trust and trust in Hisense products and brands.
