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 also think you should at least look into projectors. They don't have to be mounted on a ceiling. You'd be amazed at the options out there, for very low cost. They have projectors with very short-throw lenses- designed to "throw" the image up, big, clear, bright, very close to the wall/screen (bizarre looking lenses). https://www.projectorpeople.com/Epson-PowerLite-530-for-SMART/Projector/38957 [projectorpeople.com]
This may not have the resolution you want, but otherwise it's pretty awesome and portable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L8E5AIS/ref=sspa_dk_detail_3?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B01L8E5AIS&pd_rd_wg=mW31Y&pd_rd_r=7Z910ZA2C06MBM6GQ5G6&pd_rd_w=YYb0D [amazon.com]

Projectors is the most likely option at this point, havent looked at them too much but seen some nice ones out there. Biggest thing for me when it comes to projectors is noise.

Yes, some of them are crazy loud. I don't know why someone would design / produce something that loud, nor why someone would buy it and not return it. Some of them are essentially silent now.
