Main use for productivity (programming) for multiple PC plus a gaming PC so I need to switch inputs from time to time. Which one would you choose?

I can get this new for $650.
Pros: 5 inputs that can all do 60Hz. Smaller base. Longest warranty of 1-year.
Cons: Not really a con but I don't have AMD GPUs for Freesync (limited to 60Hz anyway). Not curve.

I can get this used for $420.
Pros: cheapest.
Cons: Only Displayport can do 60Hz. HDMI limited to 30Hz. I will need to unplug cable to switch input for 60Hz. No warranty. Not curve.

I can get this refurbished for $655
Pros: Curve, 3 inputs.
Cons: Not IPS (VA panel). 90-days warranty. Only Displayport can do 60Hz. HDMI limited to 50Hz but I think that could work for me. 
 
The only concern I have is the warranty for any of them. Should I wait for better deal? I am not in a hurry as I run 3x surround but for programming it would be nice to have one long monitor for Visual Studio code.

    That is a super nice monitor but that is best for gaming but I don't game much now and that price tag is too much for me.
     
    Which LG would you say, the new one or the used one?
