my mother (88 yrs) needs to buy a tv. I don't watch tv, don't own one. I see high definition, standard definition, digital, and analog. I think, analog is not a good purchase. can standard def., high def., or digital by a sure thing. What she must have is closed captioned. nothing with extras.

OK, she does not have a box, but everything in the senior development is comcast. still the same?

Closed captioning is mandatory in all TVs
What goes away is analog transmission over the AIR.
So, if your mom uses an antenna, she needs a TV with a digital tuner. If she uses a set-top box, then she can use any TV she wants.
So, digital can be both standard def and high def.

i would think for someone that is 88 she wouldnt need high def which is the cream of the crop right now as far as pricing goes i would think any tv that has the digital comb filter in it would suffice her needs very nicely and wouldnt cost and arm and a leg either.....i would suggest a nice 27inch phillips to do the job

I basically bought an HDTV, so I went with the help of potential of the approach. in case you ought to have cable, you are going to maximum probable ought to strengthen the sphere to acquire/transmit an HD sign. the sphere strengthen cost me one extra $7/month. i don't get any extra channels, even nevertheless already had get admission to to HD stations (basically did no longer have the television or cable field to view them). Now that I certainly have HD - wow, what a transformation in photograph friendly. There are a pair of stations on my cable lineup that transmit in each and every HD and non-HD. there's a brilliant substitute mutually as I pass from edge to edge between the two. in case you utilize cable, I recommend contacting the cable company to discover what you like, what you may get, and how lots it's going to cost. Sorry i do no longer understand what you like with satellite tv for pc, if that's what you're using. in case you ought to have a DVD participant, then it maximum in many cases does no longer help HD. so which you will be able to additionally desire to strengthen your participant additionally (I certainly have not sprung for that yet, even nevertheless maximum in many cases will sometime rapidly).
