PSA: If you mostly like to watch movies and/or cinematic TV (with the lights off, or in a dimly lit room), consider a home theater projector instead of a TV. In a dark room (even with white walls) the image is fanatic in cinema mode, and nearly as good (and quite a bit brighter) in "living room" mode. Best of all, they have absolutely zero "smart" features.
I bought an Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8345 Projector refurbished for around $470 a couple years ago to replace my 720p Panasonic AX200U. The Epsons have a solid warranty and will easily project a 100"+ image in a dark room on a basic (<$200) screen. The bulbs work out to about 10 cents/hour of usage.
This 3100 is basically the newer (and better) version of mine for $684, and the one I'd get if I was buying today.
