Currently using a very basic 70" UP7750 (LG). I don't quite understand what the numbers on Rtings mean and what I should look for, but my current TV is bright enough I think, just highly reflective. Here's a picture of it at 100% brightness, on 12:30PM:

Where I live, I could get these brand new, with a 3 year warranty:

75" TCL QM8B - $1,636
77" Samsung S85D - $1,938
77" LG B4 - $2,187
77" Samsung S90D - $2,843

There's also an outlet that sells the previous models' leftovers, all with a 1 year warranty. The LG monitors were all used to showcase the monitors in the distributor's gallery shop. Warranty extendable to 4 years for $600. The Samsung models are all either leftovers (unused) or returned items from customers, with a 1 year warranty (un-extendable):

65" Samsung S95B - $1,000
65" LG C2 - $1,010
65" LG C3 - $1,092
65" Samsung S90C - $1,133
77" LG B3 - $1,640
77" Samsung S90C - $1,780
77" LG C3 - $1,916
77" LG G2 - $2,188
77" LG G3 - $2,461

Which one would you go for?

Use-cases are 75% night (PS5 or Netflix), and 25% day (cartoons, news, occasionally PS5 or Netflix)
 
IMO you will get the most bang for your buck going with a previous year's TV. Therefore I think going with the LG C3 or Samsung S90C is the way to go. The S90C does have better color calibration than the C3 for out of box usage.
