Retro TVs

Using a retro TV surround and displaying dementia friendly DVDs, our retro style TVs combine the best of vintage style and modern technology.

What is a Retro TV Display?

A Retro TV display is just that – a digital screen with a retro surround, designed to look like the post-war TVs that the older generation will remember.

Why use a Retro TV Display?

As with the Kodak digital display, the Retro TV is designed to promote nostalgia both in form and in content. It works as a stand-alone item and in the context of a reminisce room. Nostalgia therapy works very well in the care of those with dementia and this is a great addition to any dementia friendly environment. Because the age of those living with dementia can vary, we offer two styles of retro TV; a 1950s style TV and a 1970s/80s style TV. You can read more about why it's important to have a choice here.

Other nostalgia products include the Kodak digital display and memory boxes.

Where would you use a Retro TV Display?

These work particularly well in dementia friendly environments in hospitals, care homes and other public spaces. They are particularly suited to one to one therapy.
