I don't think you can get a TV or monitor that is not made in China, but
someone please tell me I'm wrong.

Sharp had Japanese factories. They had Mexican factories. Those are
places that the old TV might have been manufactured.

Hi all.
I'd like to take the opportunity of this thread to ask about the
suitability of using a TV as a computer monitor.
Right now I have a dual screen setup with one 24" and one 22". The colour
doesn't quite match between the two of them and some thick bezels prevent
useful work with a window

Define "made". :)
Certainly as of a couple of years ago, LG OLED TVs were assembled in
Mexico for the north american

I have used my TVs on occasion as a monitor and worked fine.
I've seen some screens with 'Made in Mexico' label.

According to this article from 2012 Mexico is the largest exporter of
flat screen TVs.

I use a 49" LG 1080p smart TV for a monitor via HDMI.

I've had a very similar problem with ssh host tab completion - the primary
difference seemed to be that it worked on Mac and not on Linux. (I never
use console these days, so I couldn't tell you about that.) I solved it as
you did - by a more specific call to the completion file(s) in by bashrc.

Have you tried colour calibrating them? Different vendors have different

I have used a projector for “TV” (Netflix/Youtube) watching for the last 5
years. It has 2 HDMI ports, and is quite nice. It’s “only” 1080p, but when it’s
a 90” screen, that’s pretty good. I had a BenQ, but the bulb was always a
problem, so I recently replaced it with a XGIMI, and it’s awesome!
