Comcast Bows XClass 4K HDR TVs at $298, $348 With 43-, 50-Inch Screens

Comcast’s U.S. launch Tuesday of its XClass smart TVs sourced from Hisense comes nearly two weeks after Comcast’s London launch of the Sky Glass franchise of smart sets (see 2110070026). The XClass sets will work off the same Comcast “global technology platform” as Sky Glass, said the company. They will be available “direct to consumers across the U.S., without an Xfinity subscription, both inside and outside of Comcast’s service areas,” it said. Like Sky Glass, the XClass 4K sets, available in 43- and 50-inch screen sizes and priced at $298 and $348, respectively, will support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. The XClass TVs also will be sold starting this week at select Walmart stores and soon will be available at Walmart.com.
