Insignia used to be my go-to brand since 2012 for dumb TVs, now mostly Hisense manufactured. Since they are mostly now Fire TVs, I switched to Magnavox Roku TVs. They and Philips Roku TVs are sold at Sam's Club. The Philips units includes a three year warranty. I've been happy with the Magnavox units and wouldn't hesitate to repurchase in the future. I'm sure there are better units to be had, but they're the best I've owned yet and that's the enough for me.
Funai also has the license for the Sanyo brand. Panasonic, hasn't been in the US market since shortly after Plasmas put up the white flag and just announced in October that they are selling their plants in Europe to an unnamed third party company. Toshiba was licensed to Hisense, until Foxconn sued them to reclaim the Sharp brand that they now own. They claimed that Hisense was ruining the Sharp brand by making poor quality/reliable TVs.
It kills me that so many retailers don't even list these specs.

I've been lucky with the budget TVs (Hisence, Spectre, Phillips, Westinghouse). None have broke, the only reason to replace has been the resolution being outdated.
Thanks again OP!!!!
Understandably so... A lot of companies of yore we used to remember from back in the day fell off to the wayside in this same manner. Kodak, for example, was complacent and stuck in their ways rather than innovating as digital media was becoming more prominent, and so that bull-headedness became the cause of their demise... Aside from RCA, this resulted in both companies being forced to sell off their rights to some Chinese (and French) conglomerates due to the lack of other viable options, and in doing so, those companies only stood to capitalize on the reputation of these legacy brands in an effort to gain the goodwill of potential Western consumers through brand recognition... S/N: IBM also sold off their PC division (primarily the ThinkPad line) to Lenovo which faced a similar fate.
