bargain tablet with nice big screen for 72 year old?

overcharged

Hi Guys

Can anyone recommend a cheap'n'cheerful bargain tablet with a nice big screen for a 72 year old relative of mine? Everything I find online seems to be 7 inch!

All he'd most likely use it for is browsing for newspaper articles and looking up the occasional phone number, so no big storage (4Gb probably more than sufficient) or fancy camera needed whatsoever. Just big screen, light and easy to read.

Any thoughts would be really appreciated!

gorgeous tablet that but was hoping for something maybe around £100 mark (like one of those Tesco Hudl things except with bigger screen) if that's even possible for a tablet with a 10 inch screen?

Looks good! Hopefully with an adapter it might connect to his TV screen -- would be great for him to watch lots of YouTube documentaries on TV using it

Thanks danthemoneysavingman, appreciate it big time!

have a look through these, I've got a 9" natpc tab, and it works well, and at these prices, are they more what you're looking for?

Another vote for the HD+. Solid build quality, reasonable specs, excellent 9" 1920x1200 screen and extraordinary price.

(But it's twice as good if you're brave enough to install Cyanogen!)

75 yr old here (well will be next week), and I have Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8" which cost £179 (I think in Dec) and is now about £130 ish and I find it perfect for my needs. Hotukdeals will show you best deals. This may help:-
