Instead of a “smart TV”, get an Android box that has a USB port and allows you to play 1080p vids. It will hook up to your TV via the HDMI port.

I use a cheap Raspberry Pi model 3 and a wireless kbrd/mouse.

I run KODI on the Pi.

You can watch almost anything...

Raspberry Pi, it can do it ALL.
Well maybe not all :D

Thanks to everyone, much helpful advice. Never heard of OLED, and had no idea about Consumer Reports or projectors.
This has helped two ways, narrowing down the choices and expanding them in other ways!
