New York, New York, November 12, 2012 – Hisense today announced that it has been named an International CES Innovations 2013 Design and Engineering Awards Honoree for its Google TV powered 55-inch XT780 television.

The Hisense 55XT780 with Google TV expands upon Hisense’s depth of experience with Google TV, allowing consumers to enjoy a new level of intuitive content discovery and viewing recommendations in addition to easy navigation to integrated services that include Netflix, Facebook, Pandora, YouTube and more. The XT780 series brings Google Play, web search, e-mail, shopping, news and online videos to users’ fingertips.

Built on Google’s robust Android platform, Google TV enables TV-optimized versions of Chrome, Google Play, Search, TV & Movies and YouTube. Just as Google does with web searches, Google TV can intuitively search and sort through millions of channels and shows across live television, content services, the home network, apps, and the web, discovering and delivering the most meaningful content to each viewer. Supporting standard and high definition content in 2D and 3D, Flash and HTML5 as well as H.264, MPEG-4 and AVC formats, the 55XT780 with Google TV powers the most versatile TV experience available for home entertainment today.

The Hisense 55-inch XT780 will be displayed in The Venetian at the 2013 International CES, which runs January 8-11, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
