Black Friday TV

Sorry for going completely off the rails here. I have given years of computer purchase advice to the crowds here...now I need some. Strange as this may seems I have never owned a TV and never partook in a Black Friday event. Now I find myself needing not necessarily a TV, but a screen in the 50"-70" range. Quality needs to be crisp.

Uses
1. Movie night at my house - will likely be using 1080p files on my computer
2. Educational purposes. I do demonstrations in the neighborhood and would like to start using a screen rather than a projector.

Since these will both be feeding from a PC I assume 4k is of no use to me. SMART technology also seems unnecessary. So should I be looking for a 1080p LCD TV? And if so, what would be the best deal out there (based on what I have seen, anything under $300 would be awesome for a brand name)? I guess I would rather stick with brand name products.

Thanks folks.
 
Thanks both.

Ended up getting Samsung 55" 4k, non-curved. I've heard bad things about watching curved from an angle.

About the 4k Andy, I have 4 kids now...chances are they will topple the unit before I ever get around to watching a 4k movie, but still; gotta future-proof!
