HD TV for a 93 year old technophobe

[Woollyback Paul]

Hi All,

My 93 year old grandad needs a new HD TV - looking at a 32" to 37" screen.

He only watches via his Virgin box but he has to select the correct input every time he switches on which sometimes confuses him, he then presses a load of buttons and can't get the correct source for the virgin box to connect.

Is there a TV that will, when switched, on automatically connect to a set source?

Thanks,

Paul

My two panasonic TVs auto selects output when powered on with sky or bluray player via Hdmi connection. Not sure about other brands...

My Samsung automatically switches on when I switch Sky on with Sky remote.

Most if not all TVs and STBs etc support HDMI CEC (though manufacturers may use their own name for it) these days, and you may have to enable it.

Failing that I'd suggest getting a Harmony remote and creating an 'activity' for watching VM

They don't make 37" tvs anymore so i would check out this one.
