Not sure what TV to get for my use case.
Direct sunlight is going to wash out anything, so you're right to avoid OLED unless you enjoy screen burn as a hobby. What actually matters here is real sustained brightness. Not the stupid “peak” numbers they slap on the box. If it can sit around 400 to 600 nits without cooking itself, you're in the right ballpark. Edge‑lit sets fall apart in bright rooms, so a full array backlight holds up better. Fewer hot spots, less panel sag years down the line. VA panels give you better contrast and don't turn into a grey smear when the sun hits them. IPS just gives up. If the thing has a metal back instead of thin plastic, even better. Hot rooms plus plastic shells usually end with a warped panel or lovely little cracks around the vents. Samsung’s TU8000 or Hisense’s U6 series are usually the only things in this price range that aren't complete junk. Skip the ultra thin designs. They're built for showrooms, not sunlight. And don't bother with models that rely on software tricks to goose brightness. That just burns out the LEDs faster and you end up with a blotchy mess.

Every year I think about replacing my 2011 Samsung TV but it’s still going strong. The design and picture quality has held up. I’m sure the new TVs would blow mine out of the water side by side, however, everyone is shocked when I tell them how old it is.
Currently watching on a 2016 60” KS8000 and like OP I have no plans to upgrade. Still looks good. Sure the Tizen OS long since died but that’s what my ATV4k is for.

What’s one thing you bought once and it’s still going strong years later?
I got the Samsung UN55B7000 TV back in 2009 , still going strong wiith no plans to replace.
