BE Hi all, as title states, my parent has Stargardt’s disease and I am trying to find a TV that best suits that condition. Unfortunately at this time, he doesn’t use accessibility features like voice commands or text-to-speech type tools. I think that may be revisited in the future.

So I believe I need to go down the route of finding a TV that has the best image quality and customization of graphic settings. I know contrast ratios are important, but I am not aware of the nuances with TVs or what is best for those with Stargardt’s and I am hoping this forum can help.

My budget is $1000 or less. A 65 inch TV is what I came up with after measuring the distance from the couch. I am open to waiting for the right TV (like black friday) but I am ready to purchase sooner rather than later.

I was looking at RTINGs for reviews and a TV I was looking at was the Hisense U75K or the U85K.

Any help is appreciated!

    Is his vision getting worse? If so, I might go with either a Samsung or Sony TV. The reason is that they have accessibility settings like a screen reader and magnification of the on-screen menus builtin. Anything running Google TV would also be OK. Secondly, make sure whatever you get fully supports CEC. That will allow the TV to switch to whatever device he’s currently using, without pressing buttons on the remote or interacting with the menus, in case his vision ever gets bad enough he can no longer read the text on the screen.
