Top TV for the elderly - Top 5

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.

Summarizing, all TVs below:

  • They have a diagonal of 32 to 55 inches,
  • have a resolution of Full HD,
  • their value does not exceed 3000 rubles,
  • Compatible with a conventional remote control,
  • have webOS or Android system.

Here is a list of TVs, which I recommend to pay special attention to all the elderly.

TV for the elderly Photo

Samsung 32K5600

If someone is looking for an inexpensive and easy TV, should think about buying a Samsung 32K5600. Its 32-inch screen provides a very good color already in the factory settings, and more than decent contrast. Menu and the system is easy to use and should not cause problems even for novice users. The only drawback – No headphone jack, but the use of the headphones depends on personal preference.

Sony 32WD750 - flower lover

32-inch Sony WD750 series is the only one in our review, TV, having an IPS type liquid crystal display. The main advantage of this type of display – colors, which do not fade, when we look at the screen at an angle (t. it is. not straight). In this connection, the TV I would recommend to all those, who lay the room does not allow to take a position directly in front of the screen or the, who watch TV in a group of two or more people. It is in such circumstances Sony 32WD750 show their best side, located front of the screen can equally enjoy exceptionally eccentric color. disadvantages? I would not recommend it for viewing in a dark room or at night.

Panasonic TX-40DS630E - for the thrill of motion

This TV is the smaller brother, model described below. I highly recommend it to all those, who appreciate the benefits of a larger model (excellent factory settings, clear moving images and high quality finishing), looking for a screen with a diagonal of more than 40 inches.

Panasonic TX-50DS630E - for the amateur big factory settings

50-inch Panasonic, in my opinion, TV is the best in this opposition. It has the best default settings, high definition moving pictures and more reliable fabrication and finishing. Thanks to its robust technology and the absence of unnecessary frills is one of the best Full HD TV for the price for watching digital TV or movies on DVD or Blu-ray. Owners of older players and decoders, certainly, please evrovhod which lacks in a growing number of new TVs.

Samsung 55K5500 - for technical, who is looking for a successor to the plasma TV

To all those elderly people, who want to replace a worn plasma TV with a new model I highly recommend the 55-inch TV for seniors K5500. As known, good plasma had a deep black color and high contrast, the image had high plasticity and depth and looked very attractive. Because plasma TVs are not available for several years, the question arises, than to replace them. Cheapest OLED Full HD TVs are Bole 50 000 UAH, so many elderly people can not afford such expense. Instead, I suggest you consider buying Samsung 55K5000. This easy-to-use and easy-TV for the elderly has a deep black color and one of the highest contrast ratios among LCD TVs, available on the market.

    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
