Hi Paul,
A friend of mine sent me some information on two Samsung models which he
says are fully accessible, a 49 inch and 32 inch tv. Hope this information
helps you.
Regards, Michael Brown
Samsung UE32M5500AKXXU
Samsung UE49KU6400
Once you have the tv connected up, and either on a stand, or mounted on the
wall, just switch it on, then press the mute button for a couple of seconds,
and the voice guide will come on. Everything talks, so you can then go and
enter your WIFI key, before exploring all the settings and features. You
can even connect a portable harddrive, or pen drive, and set timer
recordings for a particular show, or set series recordings, just like
sighted folk do. One thing, the recordings will only play back through a
Samsung TV, they use their own format, that will not work on anything else.
The entire manual is built in into the tv, so it is possible to read it
anytime you like, without having to wait for a set of working eyes.

Hi again.
The below link is an explainer of the Samsung model names, each part of the
various letters describing features of the television set itself.
Unfortunately it doesn't mention accessibility anywhere but really helps to
instantly understand the spec of the set in question.
