So one of my three year old kids smashed my 65" LED flatscreen with a die-cast model of the Atlantis shuttle. I was fine with this and was not planning on buying a replacement in any haste but my wife keeps complaining. Would prefer at least 65"+ and absolutely not a smart tv. What suggestions do you have, companies to avoid, etc. Help me SN, you are probably my only hope of not just buying another spysung.

    Lots of great ideas here so far. I might be overly cynical, but I could envision a "smart" TV bricking itself until you give it Internet access.

    Consider an LCD or Laser projector. They're very inexpensive now, stunning image, portable, zoom-able, can be mounted on ceiling, out of reach of kids, and can be caged for even more protection from the occasional projectile or drone.
