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.

Hacking's just another word for nothing left to kludge.

Worse, in that there's also very SLOOOOOOOOW user interfaces. My solution was to leave the TV on HDMI1 permanently and I have a nice pushbutton physical UI switchbox. And the kids are trained fairly well to push the buttons. Its not as bad as you might think in that for one butt-sitting event I usually only use one HDMI source per butt-sitting. Its not like I'm getting up to change old fashioned legacy channels.
Another thing to think about is I run an optical audio output from the TV to the surround sound/subwoofer system. So I'm already in multiple device remote control hell.
I'd say the biggest difference between similar young and old people is old people are used to much lower latency that kids tolerate these days, and kids are used to much higher bandwidth than older people are used to.
