Hi Vincent.
Thanks for that. I've taken a brief look at the Samsung accessible sets and it
looks interesting. I will look in greater detail tomorrow.

the section about Samsung TV's
http://www.rnib.org.uk/information-everyday-living-home-and-leisure-television-radio-and-film/television
2. harvey normans samsung TV 2 different size TV's i only presume these TV's
have voice guide on them plus you can talk to the remote control to choice and
select stuff might be worth trying.

Thanks Gerry and Tim. I had to smile when I read your response Tim.
My own experience whenever I raise the subject of accessibility in any
outlet, be it phone, electrical or otherwise; is surprise at a
question they have never heard before, followed by curiosity, and - asuming
that
they or I have the time to discuss the subject further - fascination.

Assuming, of course, the people in these shops know how to use the
accessibility features!

Hi The best way to test out all of these different products and their
accessibility is to going to any of the curries or other shops which
Stockton and get someone to show you how they work noting that also
any hard drives with you attached to these TVs will not have the
spoken capabilities which are built into the TV as it doesn’t extend
to do use items on this things have changed recently

Hi all.
I’m currently looking for a new television and have been googling
to check on the general state of accessibility for blind/vision
impaired people. Anyone out there like to share their knowledge or
experience.
I note that the RNIB supports a range of Panasonic products but I’m
not sure if they will work over here. Also, Philips claim that their
2017 models have particular accessibility features.
So far, given the current state of accessibility here in Ireland, I
can’t really see the point of investing in a smart television and I
don’t think that Apple Tv is available here. However, I’ve still got
a pretty open mind and am open to correction.
Thanks in advance
Paul
