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.

I watch my streaming shows, movies from whatever source, and sports (mostly via vipbox.[domain-of-the-week]) on a 42" plasma TV (720p) backed by a nice powerful 5.1 sound system (sports normally end up Dolby Pro Logic = left, right,center,rear) and a subwoofer powerful enough to shake the walls/sensitive enough to shut up unless wall shaking is called for.
I agree that the sound system provides more than the size of the screen.
But I don't know any of the TV watchers in my house that would ever go for a smaller screen by a millimeter. The 42" supplanted a 40" 1080p on the strength of its ever-so-slightly larger size. Said 40" is now my main monitor, on which this conversation is now in front of me.
