TV experts, will be needing a new TV. Few questions for one in a moderately bright room...

TV in living room I freaking out on a more consistent basis and now my bedroom tv is losing its mind too. Both are probably 8-10yrs old. Time to upgrade one of them per the wife. 
Anyways... my living room is sort of bright during the day. I have a couple windows with blinds on the wall that the tv faces. It only gets sun there around 2-6 in the afternoon. In the summer I have a 6x6 window that faces the street that gets sun in the afternoon as well, but it has blinds too. My current LG has some issues with glare, but I don’t know if that’s cause the TV tech is so old in it.
I’ve done some research and it looks like the OLEDs aren’t recommended for bright rooms or at least really bright rooms and the LED/LCDs are. I’d like to go OLED, but I’m not sure if I shouldn’t go the other route. Any ideas on to which way to go?
These are the 2 I’m looking at. Both are approximately the same price.
SonyXBR55X930E
LGOLED55C7P
I know I can get cheaper TVs in the TCL and the Vizio, but I think I’m leaning towards these 2.

I have the same decision to make soon, so interested in the replies.
I will point out the 2017 lg oleds we're released at the end of February last year. May see a price drop in 17s or enough improvements in 18s to buy the new model.

I have a 65 LG oled e7 that I picked up from frys for 2099. If you are in the market for an oled and there is a frys in your area go to the store and negotiate with them.
You can get them down to black Friday prices or lower if your are persistent.
This is unfortunately an in store only thing, doesn't work on the website.
Eta. I originally bought a b7 from Costco but I did a little research and discovered this frys trick.

In a bright living room I might consider an IPS panel, it will definitely help with viewing angles. Just make sure the backlight bleed isnt bad.

I bought the LG OLED 65C7 a few weeks ago and it is in a room facing a wall of windows so brightness/glare was a large concern for me too. It’s just like with any screen, I sometimes have to lower the blinds if the sun is directly shining through. Otherwise, I have it slightly tilted on a wall mount which seems to mitigate any glare. All I can say is, the OLED is the best picture quality I’ve ever seen and I don’t think the differences in OLED, LED etc will matter enough

Buy the 900e NOT the 930e. There is literally nothing that justifies the huge price difference between the two. When they first came out, SONY promised 930e buyers they would support Dolby vision (huge selling point for future proofing), well just recently they basically said, "nevermind!" The 900e was probably 2017s most successful and raved about TV.
