Sharp TVs are now Hisense TV
I don’t think this is a good news. Sharp Tv is exiting US market, so Chinese company Hisense has bought out the rights to Sharp's brand and manufacturing plant in Mexico for $23.7 million, and will sell televisions under the Sharp name.
I tried a 40 inch Hisense TV back in January, and that was one the worst TV I seen. So quality of Hisense brand TV under Sharp name remain to be seen.
Sharp had pretty good foot hold in large screen LCD in Us market with quality products such as “Elite” and “Quattron" line LCDs. So Hisense got a big shoes to fill.

This morning, Japanese electronics manufacturer Sharp quietly announced its intentions to exit the U.S. TV market after notable quarterly losses.
Poised to benefit are South Korea's twin electronics giants Samsung and LG, along with California-based Vizio and Chinese manufacturer Hisense.
At this time, it's unclear whether Hisense will continue to invest in Sharp's more eccentric innovations, or will simply continue to produce and sell the company's broadly successful entry-level models.
