Hisense U75K was $900+tax at Costco last Xmas, and I have been very happy with it. It actually has really good sound even, with a built in subwoofer. I am using it without any additional soundbar or surround sound system, and I am picky about sound. So you don’t need to spend any extra money for sound. I have set up many fancy home theaters in the past and love the simplicity. The picture is great, probably not as good as OLED but I wouldn’t know, so blissfully happy. U65K was $700 I think, same subwoofer/sound, if you can’t fit a 75".

Spend some time on rtings.com, I like their reviews

“Large TV”

Me, having grown up in a time period where 13-19 inch 4:3 tvs were the norm, and 25 inches was big screen.

“Oh, you can find 40 inch tv’s pretty cheap!”

sees the rest of the title

“Oh…so the yardposts have moved, have they?”

they have moved, but I wouldn’t call a 40" TV large for almost 10 years now.

I grew up in the 80s.

Whatever you get, avoid running it at 100% brightness. This will likely extend its lifespan.

A projector.

Look for displays that are meant for always-on signage or ads. The quality can be somewhat lower in terms of picture quality, but you won’t have any smart features and they’re likely to last longer than other displays.

I’m assuming you mean $1000 USD because I feel people from any other country wouldn’t assume that everyone would know.

Correct $1000 USD, thanks for clarifying!

General buying advice: 70” is a size used by manufacturers on budget units that use panels from prior years.

Go with 65” or 75”. Now, to find a balance of size and performance, 65” might be the better option.
