    Have you tried wall-mounting the TV and then buidling a box around it with wooden studs, some drywall and a large piece of plexi as a window that is close to but not flush with the screen? If you decide to try this, I would recommend adding some ventilation holes on the bottom and the top in order to avoid a heat buildup in the enclosure (which is something the TV's capacitors won't like too much and they would potentially die much more quickly than usual).
    The plexiglass will probably have some nasty reflections, but maybe you could put a transparent anti-reflective foil on top of it. Just make sure that foil doesn't block infrared, otherwise the remote will not work.  If the plexiglass is thick enough, I very much doubt it can be broken that easily and even if that were to happen, the TV would be at a safe distance (a few cm should be enough).

    I hope everything works out for you and your son.

    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.

    I'm guessing a wall mount won't work, but have you thought about a projector you could hang from the ceiling?

    I use to work in a TV store. Customer turned up. "My kid was playing Playstation, and this TV just exploded by itself!!!". I was like "nope, that's a PS3 shaped controller hole in your panel. Bit obvs what happened." Customer was "I will believe my daughter, she NEVER lies to me." LOL!
     
    But yep, I totally understand this need. I worked in care, and at a community center for it, they over did it and put some TVs in massive boxes with plastic panels etc. But this is much more convenient. When it came to our service users throwing TVs, that was mainly a thing of the past, and we generally got them out of the habit. Though other things often took the brunt of anger instead!
