Toshiba and Sharp brands are relics of past Japanese high quality. It's insulting to see their brands used in the current form. Their original products would last decades and they always tried to be on the leading edge of technology. Now, the opposite is true with those brands. (It's good to see Sony still holding on. Diversification saved them.)Toshiba TVs are made by Hisense. Toshiba's brand name has passed hands from a Taiwan company to China (Hisense).
This has to be the 4th or 5th Christmas season that a cheap Toshiba TV has been pushed by Best Buy. They'll still sell a lot to these who want a cheap TV for the bedroom, kids room, etc.
