"Samsung has continued to expand its product lines at a time when institutions such as our MEC members are experiencing an increasing demand for access to high-quality digital display products at an affordable cost. We look forward to working with a company that shares our passion for technology, innovation and a first-class experience.”

“We are excited to be the official display partner of the Mountain East Conference," says Mark Quiroz, Vice President of Product Marketing, Display Division, Samsung Electronics America. “This new partnership demonstrates Samsung’s dedication to expanding our presence in collegiate sports and our passion for bringing unique game-day experiences to all fans from the living room to the sidelines.”
