“The KU6290 has a standard remote while the KU6300 has a regular remote. The 6300 has Bluetooth while the 6290 lacks it. For this senior who hasn't had a tv for the last 4 yrs, can someone explain what this means in practical use?”

The standard remote uses infra red signals to control the TV and requires line of sight, meaning you must point the remote at the TV and if anything obstructs this line of sight, your remote inputs will do nothing. Bluetooth uses a radio waves that radiates from the remote itself and does not require line of sight meaning you don't have to point the remote at the TV and if the signal is strong enough you could change the channel from an adjacent room.

The fancy remote is motion controlled, and a lot of people I've read don't like it. The bluetooth is for wireless headphones, or keyboards. Which I'm assuming you probably wouldn't care too much about. In this case between these two models, go with the best deal. Most likely the 6290. I bought it, and couldn't be happier with my purchase.
