Projector isn't going to happen until we move/build our "forever" house, which is minimum 5 years away. This set up is in the bonus room which has too much light from different areas of the house, so this TV will have to be good enough.

That picture doesn't do the size of the 82" justice at all. I was standing 16' - 16.5' away as that's where I'm generally watching from.
Of course as many have said throughout this thread, I'd still go bigger but cost vs size plays a huge factor with any option bigger than what I chose.
She's 90 - 95lbs depending on the week haha.
Speakers are fine with her, she doesnt touch anything in the house other than what she knows she's allowed. Even as a puppy we had pretty much zero issue with her.
