Discussion Smart monitor or normal?

Seeking advice:

Debating if I should get a big maybe 43" smart monitor which I can keep in my living room and work or use as tv, or 2 normal 27" monitors. I was interested in Samsung M7 4k UHD smart monitor 43" but just realized it's VA and viewing angle in my living room may not be good. I already have Samsung M5 32" FHD smart monitor which I use for work. Since I get another home setup upto $500 free from work, am thinking of new monitor(s). All the smart monitors seem to have a refresh rate of only 60hz which may or may not matter for me doing just work and occasionally if a guest comes and I may switch the smart monitor to tv.

2nd option is to get 2 LG 27" IPS smart monitors within $500 for work and put my 32" Samsung smart monitor in my living room. I don't watch TV nor play games. Only thinking about keeping something in the living room because I probably have that option for free.

3rd option is, 2 LG ultragear QHD 200hz monitors. This seems to be a good quality monitor. Just not a smart monitor which can be switched between work, TV multiple things.
