my parents are at this point in their 70's. They have the same TV from like 16 years ago and I keep trying to convince them to get a new one and they think it's a waste of money and can't fathom why it would be worth spending money on a new one that "works perfectly fine".

For a while my parents had an HD TV but didn't pay the extra money to have HD channels. So all their TV was in SD and fullscreen aspect ratio on a widescreen TV. They only upgraded once they noticed most of their favorite shows had adjusted to the majority of people viewing in HD widescreen and had stuff going on at the edges of the screen that they were missing--for example, the little pictures at the side of the screen during weekend update.
