If your parents are seniors, I would suggest Sony 36 CRT. They are plenty big, cheap & great with SD or DVD. Stick with Two channel for the setup, less complex & easier to use.If your parents are able to manage new technology, then I would suggest a Samsung flat screen, for budget, but still decent 42". Make sure it is an HD TV.
I would stick with a major brand name, because the budget sets are just that, CHEAP. Where will you get them fixed when they blow up?? ;-)
