Looking around the room I see 4 black & white portables from the mid-60s. GE, Philco, Setchell-Carlson, Zenith.

Setchell-Carlson changed its name to Audiotronics about 1980, and to Dotronix in the late 80's or early 1990's, and they still make video monitors, here in the USA:

Their monitors are still used in airport video display systems around the country, for example. Several years ago, right after Zenith (the then last-existing U.S. consumer TV maker) was bought by LG, Dotronix briefly got some attention when they discussed selling consumer TV sets/monitors, but they never did release any that I am aware of.
