Easy-to-use SmartTV

Albatross

Hi all. 
My mother is 84 and while pretty hale has just moved into assisted living. My brother is learning disabled and lives on his own. Both of them are incapable of operating complex technology.
I am considering having them both get SmartTVs (preferably the same make/model) that have built-in camera/microphone setups so that in addition to TV they can use the device to make video calls to each other. 
I'm looking for recommendations of a good, SIMPLE TO USE Smart TV, possibly with voice activation, maybe integrated with an Alexa or Siri or something. My goal is for either of them to be able to say "TV, call mom" or "TV, call Bob" and initiate a video call. 
Are we there yet? Are smart TVs yet that smart?
Thanks for any assistance or suggetions.
-Bob

Hello, @Albatross Welcome to the community!

I'm sad to say that I don't think we're quite there yet. There are similar devices that can perform that function, such as the Facebook Portal. However, as far as TV's go, there really aren't many with built-in webcams or software to do video calls yet.

As far as TV recommendations go, I've had good luck with Samsung as a brand, and I really like their panels' quality.

Hope this helps!
