LEDs are actually an enhanced LCD screen that uses light-emitting diodes. Generally speaking, LEDs enhance the clarity of the picture because they produce a brighter image with deeper contrasts and blacks than traditional LCDs. The picture enhancement should appeal to seniors with inferior eyesight. For additional information on the differences between plasma, LCD, and LED TVs, read our Senior’s Guide to Plasma, LCD and LED HDTVs.

(some macular degeneration and very deaf, needing subtitles) is having trouble selecting channels from 10 onwards and when the box goes into standby she doesn’t realise it has and cannot get it to work

Hi.
I have received several such questions from our visitors so we are going to write an article in response in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, take a look at the reply to Regina and Barb above.

I would also suggest getting in touch with a social worker or occupational therapist to see what they suggest. Thanks. EJ from ElderGadget.
This is the best thing we can share for our elderly love ones..LED tv, because most of our senior relatives need a little entertainment and they should enjoy watching even for a little period of time.
