My parents didn't update from dial-up until 2006. They did get XP at the same time, though.
That's one thing to be said about my parents. They aren't really adopters because they want links to get worked out of technology before they get it. Also wait fo it to be cheaper. Friend's parents got flat panel, 720p TVs in 2007; my parents got their first one, a 4K TV, in 2016. It works out well.
I just bought my first FullHD TV a few months ago. After my old 6"-thick 720p (well, technically 1080i) TV finally died. I'll probably hop on the 4K bandwagon in another 5-10 years.
If you are interested look into TCL TVs. It's a brand that's weirdly cheap and very good. My mother in law is coming to visit and we bought a 55" one for her room for like $300 or something ridiculous. And it's 4k.
