Hi greenhorn, Thanks for the suggestion and kind words, I appreciate it! I actually have considered building an enclosure for the tv above the fireplace mantle using plexiglass. I have even considered recessing a tv inside of the wall. The problem comes down to cost. A sheet of plexiglass cut to the size I'd need would be about $200+ (I've called a few places near me). But at that price, it now becomes a case keeping my son from also destroying the plexiglass which would almost be the same price as a cheap tv lol. At the moment we're just using a small crappy tv until I can figure out a cost effective solution. After he destroyed our last one which had a 1/8" plexiglass protector that we paid about $180 for from Amazon, I realized that I'm going to need something much more robust! The problem with the plexiglass protector I purchased is that it seemed too hard which, I think, resulted in it being very brittle; hence why he was able to shatter it so easily. The tv in the review looked like it had some flex to it so it was able to absorb most of the impacts, so It seems like it could be a winner if I could get it for $400 like Linus stated in the video! The search continues though...

Hi Bsly, Thanks for the suggestion! I have considered one actually, but unfortunately my living room is small and regardless of where I could mount the thing my son would be able to jump from the couch and hang from the projector like an orangutan. I had to remove the blades from the ceiling fan because he was trying to hang from them. I even considered throwing out the two couches we have and just use bean bags to eliminate him jumping from them, but then after he bit a hole in the one he had in his room, making a mess with the stuffing, I reconsidered. I'm telling you, this kid is beyond destructive. Some severely autistic kids are savants at piano, but much to my dismay, my son is a savant at destruction. I also looked at wall mounted projectors, the ones that shine the image down... man are they expensive though! I can't win. Right now we're using a 24" 720p Sanyo TV in the living room that we only plug in to put a movie on for the kids, and only when we can keep eyes on him the whole time. Otherwise, it's locked in our bedroom. I considered building an enclosure for a tv above the fireplace mantle using shatter proof glass, but after pricing it out, it would cost about $500 just for the sheet of glass, not to mention the other materials I would need. That's why I was excited to see this tv that Linus reviewed because he said in the video they got it for $400, and I thought, perfect! a one stop solution for me... though, I can't find it for that price! And, while I greatly appreciate GenericFanboy's efforts and gesture, the link that he sent me has the tv priced around $750 USD, after conversion... which is a bit out of my budget right now. Of course, no one from LMG responded to my first post, so I have no idea where to buy this thing for the $400 they stated... the search continues! Anyway, sorry for the ramble lol. Thanks again for your suggestion!

I'm looking at the link now! Thanks for the quick reply and the kind words!

Okay, where can I buy this!? I'm serious... I went through two TCL's and a Hisense this year. My non-verbal autistic son has broken 3 TV's on us (two of them with 1/8" plexiglass over the screen -which I paid about $150+ for by themselves; for each one! He's brutal when he has his meltdowns! I could give two shits how bad the panel quality is, I just need something that's robust!!! I know tv's are cheaper than they have ever been, but I can't afford to continue replacing $250 tv's every few months. I'm looking online and I can't seem to find that specific tv from Amoi. @James, please help a fellow techie out, tell me where you guys purchased yours... I'm already looking at step-up converters for it lol.
