Lenovo Group Ltd, the world's largest personal computer maker, is planning to build around 2,000 brick-and-mortar smart-television stores in China by the end of the year to boost sales of its newly released TV products, company executives said on Wednesday.

The Beijing-based company is looking to Chinese families' living rooms for a new profit booster after PCs and smartphones.

"We are targeting the top five smart-TV vendors for sales volume in the coming years. To hit this goal Lenovo has to join hands with more channel partners this year," said Chen Xudong, senior vice-president of Lenovo.
