Default OTish: considerations for new TV for elderly mother

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

Jon N
