New 2017 Sharp TVs from manufacturer Hisense USA are now available at select retail stores across the country, including Abt.
The line, which was first introduced at CES 17, offers a combination of advanced picture quality and value price points – a theme, which carries throughout the assortment, including the new P7000 and P8000 lines, with 4K Ultra HD HDR capability.
The company did not mention the shipping or availability schedule for its P9500 or P9000 4K Ultra HD QLED TV lines, which were also announced in January and are to add advanced quantum dot technology for wide color and HDR enhancement.
