Re: video display ...

You have 2K? Are you going to be watching off air or satellite mostly? How important is DVD movie picture to you? How much light is there in the room? Basically if you were watching mainly broadcast TV, I would get a directview, say 36inch or bigger if you can find it. Downside, they are about 200 lbs. Small children who like to push things over could get crushed! If the main thing is to watch movies, then a widescreen rear projectors are likely a better bet, especailly if you can control the amibent light. Regardless each is compromise, you need to decide who will be using the TV and what the main viewing will be (movie or broadcast). For me a direct veiw was the anwser, especially since a senior is the main user. They are bright, the size suits fading eyesight and the use is relatively straight forward. If you have small kids, get a "wee mote" remote. Made just for young kids (& seniors) who are technologically inclined. Big buttons, bright shapes, works great.
