Well, how are her eyes? If you go to a bigger more up market Panasonic you
can now get them that talk to you so if you do press the wrong remote button
you can hear it. Panasonic remotes are far easier than Sony or Samsung ones
for older people it is claimed.

Also, you can of course get big button remotes that can be programmed for
the most used functions of most appliances these days i notice, in much the
same way ou can get big button phones.

Hi
a bit OT I confess, but I know quite a few here have elderly parents...
I'm thinking of buying my 80-year old mother a 'slimline' (as she calls
them
;-) LCD TV to replace her old CRT one.

The replacement will be relatively small (22-inch or so), but since I'm
doing the purchase/delivery remotely I'd like to get it right. I am
thinking
that her (unstated, as yet) criteria might be a bit different to most
purchasers.

so specifically:

- are there any models with specifically large/accessible buttons?
- are there any with remote controls easy to use by the elderly?
- anything else that I might take into consideration?

Thanks for any thoughts
