I'm usually pretty good with the whole technology thingy, but I know my limits.
My parents want a small television in their kitchen.
They had an olde tyme style tv and it crapped the bed.
Mom is pushing 80 and she'll mostly be watching news, etc.
More of a background soundtrack than actual watching, but she won't switch to radio news. Plus she gets to put on her game shows in the evening, so a TV is useful.
They have cable service. Verizon Fios, to be exact.
Coax to the kitchen.
I'm thinking of an under cabinet mount, but I only find ones with DVD and it makes the base bulkier than needed.
So first question is: does anyone know of a good, slim under cabinet television that would fold flat?
But I also got to thinking.
What about these facebook type portals? A screen that would allow her to access the web, music and even skype type correspondence. She loves Alexa so it's not too big a task to teach her.
BUT.
Will these type of monitors also function as a TV?
Through standard cable, or only through some sort of fire stick?
Television is still the main objective here.
Thanks.
