Any experience with Hisense? A few friends have purchased This Model and say the picture quality is amazing. I have never purchased Hisense before, usually Samsung or Panasonic TVs.

Though in my experience the not so hard side is still harder than any western mattress out there so if you're not used to this it may not be for you or perhaps may not know yet it's for you.

I’m sure they absorbed all the technology from Sharp and have a better manufacturing ability than Sharp did

Foxconn now owns Sharp and it looks like they getting out of making sharp TV's.
Sharp's history with TVs includes:
1931: Sharp began researching TVs, just as radio was becoming popular.
1953: Sharp mass-produced TVs before television broadcasting began.
2015: Sharp sold its North American TV business to Hisense, a Chinese TV maker.
2016: Foxconn acquired Sharp.
2017: Foxconn sued Hisense for selling TVs under the Sharp brand that violated FCC rules.
2018: Foxconn dropped the lawsuit against Hisense.
2019: Sharp regained the license from Hisense and resumed making Sharp-branded TVs.
2022: Sharp announced its return to the U.S. TV market. https://www.sixteen-nine.net/2024/05...play-business/

all i can say is we bought 2 hisense tvs for our work security cameras and they both broke within 2 years. also my friends 55" died after just over a year. im sure this happens here and there with all brands depending on the model but my impression isn't good based on those experiences.

Anyone have suggestions for a bluetooth speaker? Looking for something that won't take up a ton of space. Ideally something that would fit easily on a washroom counter. Bonus points if it's stylish too.
Other than that, no idea what I want/need to buy. Maybe some over the ears headphones? Wouldn't mind a set for long haul flights.

In the world of electronics, cheaper products sell based on specs but the quality of their components don’t compare to the bigger/better brands who have a reputation to protect. The cheap brands are far more likely (and perhaps engineered) to fail before a quality product with the same specs on a datasheet.
For example, I bought a Sharp Aquos back in the day before they were acquired. A coworker shopping for TVs at the same time said the Samsung he bought had better specs for a lower price. Roughly 10 years later he was on his 3rd Samsung when my Aquos finally died.
Don’t buy based on spec sheets. That’s how they get you because you’ll likely shop the same way when the product inevitably fails.

Still goes strong but I'm well overdue for an upgrade haha.
