If an elderly person, eg, grandparent, asks us, which TV to buy, we do not always know the answer. The following guide that can help in this matter.
foreword
I spent a lot of conversations with vendors such as the major electronics stores ALLO. From these conversations it emerges quite clear picture of consumer preferences of our pensioners:
- TV must be easy to use;
- It must be supported by the traditional remote control;
- It has the best value for money;
- smart features are of secondary importance.
It turns out, demanding that the elderly and to the operating system. Personally, I appreciate all of the operating system, including webOS and Android. but, online store Allo told me, that most older people do not consider the remote control with the cursor and, usually, They refuse to TV with this kind of remote control. Besides, seniors want, to the TV is fast and stable. Concerning, in the next report no TV with Android. Although this operating system has made great progress in terms of ease of use for the last two years. While there are TVs with the Android operating system has a lot of amazing designs, that deserve recommendation, eg, UE78KS9000 which ranked top 5 Samsung TV. But in this ranking, I recommend modern TVs who has tested himself and personally checked, for which I can vouch, that they represent a sufficient level of quality.

Ease of handling is important for older people.. Without all this sophisticated smart tv and confusing menus. The senior citizen doesn’t care about the viewing angles and the type of matrix. the main thing – clear, large, convenient remote control buttons with programming the necessary channels and the inability “put on” getting into the wilds of the menu. Alas, there are no such models. A similar situation with phones.
Pensioner, and not necessarily urban, today without much difficulty copes with smart tv, and he doesn't care about the picture, and old electronics that have clear, large, convenient remote control buttons with programming the desired channels – many pensioners have long since changed to modern TVs
