Definitely wall-mount the device, and run your cabling behind the wall if possible, or cover the cabling with channel cover. A clear slab of 10mm polycarbonate sheet mounted in front of the screen will protect it against thrown objects.

the place that i live in won't let us wall mount, but i was gonna look at some type of tv table, one thats wide so that it can support the screen better. And I got a tv cover, but it didn't work great. its cracked in several places. Grrrr

If you're at all D.I.Y. capable, add a backboard to your TV table to use as a pseudo-wall-mount, and side cheeks to support it. Your screen cover probably cracked because it's made out of cheap perspex. Use polycarbonate - it's shatterproof.
