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.

    The idea is they'll never (or rarely) watch it, so the power usage won't matter since it'll almost never be on.

    Besides, until the LED backlit LCDs came out, you usually didn't save that much power going from a CRT to a LCD, assuming you upgraded the screen size at the same time. And plasmas would use a lot more power than the CRT.
