Any TV made in the last 3-4 years would have USB and HDMI inputs. With a pure "display" aka computer monitor, there is often no speakers in there, so there could be no HDMI either. TV speakers suck for the most part, anyway.

The whole issue - to bring or not to bring - is a non issue. If you pay tax, this is 40-60 bucks for a big screen. Find a place NOB where it's at least 50 bucks cheaper than in MX, keep your fingers crossed at the border, and keep 50 bucks in pesos ready. Oh well... What would nomads do if there wasn't something to flap our gums about...

I would get what you want and pay the tax. If you don't know where to go where you live,(in Mexico) then pay the tax. Or make a new friend and go to a place in Mexico. You're going to have the set for a while get what you want and make an adventure and a new friend. The story will be worth more then the savings. Your mileage my very!

We bought a Samsung 55 inch yesterday at Telnor Phone Co. Came out to price being almost the same as it would have cost in U.S. with NO taxes(including IVA) & believe it or not that TV sells for about $143.00 less if you buy it on time pmts.with no interest to be paid. :?::biggrin:What can I say" this is Mexico!:biggrin:
