And if it has the "Sharp" name on it I won't have to constantly explain to people who don't know anything about electronics why I have an "off brand" TV.
I have one of the last Sharp TV's made in North America (Mexico) from 2006 or so, a 32" 720p LCD TV. And it still works, excellently. It's a shame they had gone the way of Toshiba and Sony, becoming second-rate TV's, but Sharp always had an edge by making those ridiculously rare sizes (like 90"+) that nobody else would.
I don't think you should feel obligated to explain why there is or isn't a certain brand stamped on the plastic around your TV's screen to anyone. If "people" are asking, then "people" are probably too foolish to be rewarded with an answer because they don't understand anything about the global supply chain.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'd happily buy a TV made by Foxconn. They make everything for everyone else anyway.Flunk - Wednesday, March 30, 2016 - link

With 1.5 billion USD, you can buy a Lamborghini Veneno every day, for a full year.$4.1 million/day
