Question Best 'bang for the buck' monitor for a PS5 Pro ?

[Regev]

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.

So you'd take a C3 / S90C for 1.8-1.9K with a 1 year warranty only (and, a refurbished/display unit) over a brand new S85D for the same price, with a 3 year warranty ?

How about getting some curtains?
Although newer monitors/TVs may help (be brighter and less reflective) you're still going to have some glare. If there's nothing specifically wrong with the TV, buy some curtains and use the rest of the money you'd spend on the new TV for new PS5 games!
