The new ecotv collection includes the flagship uMax85 85-inch Ultra HD TV and the Super4 X Series 43-inch, 55-inch, and 65-inch Ultra HD TVs. The displays are part of the company's larger ecosystem of smart devices and streaming content.
"We have created a new business model that will lead the next era of technology – the ecosystem era. We are disrupting several categories and changing the paradigm by breaking down barriers and boundaries between industries and screens to create a better experience and more value for both individuals and industries," said YT Jia, Founder, Chairman and CEO of LeEco. "I know the road ahead is long and arduous but life is about constantly exploring the unknown, and I believe that if you dare to dream what 99% believe is impossible you’ve earned the right at that 1% chance to be successful."
The premium uMax85 is an 85-inch Ultra HD TV with a slim industrial design and a full array LED panel with 448 active local dimming zones. In addition, the display supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision, along with Fluid Motion 1920 Display Technology and Harmon Kardon speakers.
