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.

Hi Vincent
I've been following up on your Samsung suggestion and below is a link to an
Access World review of one of their accessible televisions. I haven't been
able to find a link to list the brand's accessible range despite spending some
time on this.
The RNIB site states that The speech feature is called Voice Guide and is
available on all series 7, 8 and 9 models and most series 6 models. I'm
assuming that this includes the more recent Samsung smart televisions.
I'll take another look later. Anyone out there have any experience of either
the Samsung or Panasonic accessible models?

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
