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.

    One of your three-year-olds? How many do you have?

    And this about the diecast Atlantis:

    Due to small parts that could cause a choking hazard please keep away from children 3 years of age and younger.

    So you're implying that the TV wasn't the intended target? Great work Sherlock!

    Twins. Also linked diecast atlantis may not be the same as the one used to commit the crime.

      Twins here too.
      They just want to touch the screen.

      Went with projectors years back for just this reason. Wall is so much easier to clean/fix.
      Currently running a NEC PA500U direct from NEC Factory refurbish a couple years ago.

      Lenses sometimes sold seperately, and not always on sale. Still a great deal.

      I've used surplus NEC projectors since the late 90's for home theatre projects.
      120" diagonal from an old-school 3-gun CRT, I had to downsize to merely 84" since the move.
      Pics from that project might still be on AVSForum.
      They have fewest problems syncing to any signal I've thrown at them. Solid Kit.
