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.

This article was useful from the viewing point of view, but can anyone help on purchasing a TV with an easy to use remote control. I’ve just set up a TVonics box with an analogue Panasonic TV about six years old. Unfortunately the 94 year old person using it
(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
So we need to get a freeview television with easy to use (and to see) remote control, preferably with a subtitle button on the front and not under the menu option.
Any ideas????

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. They might offer some solutions in the meantime, but since the person you are writing about has their own set of challenges, the solution might be different. 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.
