I'm setting up a palliative bedroom for my mom since she'll soon have difficulty with stairs. She loves watching TV, and I want to get a small one that can be wall-mounted. I've seen some Roku TVs, but I've heard mixed reviews about them. What should I consider when choosing a TV? Should I go for a smart TV or something simpler? Any recommendations or things I should avoid? It's been a while since I bought a TV, so I could use some advice!

I recently bought a TCL Roku TV for around $350, and it's fantastic! It has all the features you'll need—supports streaming, is energy-efficient, and mounts really easily. If she's just watching old movies and documentaries, you'll both be happy with it!
Roku TVs work great and are super user-friendly! Don’t be swayed by tech experts pushing unnecessary features. For your mom, a simple Roku or TCL TV paired with a voice remote would be the easiest option. Mount it with an articulating mount from Harbor Freight for flexibility!
And the remotes are really straightforward, which is perfect for her!
If your mom is not tech-savvy, you might want to stick with a simple setup. Maybe get a Roku stick if you have an older TV; it plugs right into the HDMI port and comes with an easy remote. The TCL Rokus have been doing really well lately—one just under $150 would do nicely!
Thanks for the tips! Just to clarify, do I need a subscription for Roku like with Chromecast?
I appreciate this! Just want something uncomplicated since she struggles with tech.
