Looking for the right OLED to gift myself

Currently I'm using two 1440p 144hz IPS (LG Ultragear) screens and they're both fine but I've always been annoyed by the visible color gradient in dark media and the fact that black is at best more of a dark gray. So I'm thinking about getting an OLED screen for myself for my birthday.

I'm looking for a screen that's available in europe, has minimal or no color fraying or halo effect and is preferably at least 1440p/144hz for around 500 - 600 euros. For further information: I sit about 1m away from my screen (75-50cm when going shrimp mode) and would use it for watching content and gaming. I also turn my monitors off basically every night so any pixel refreshing would be able to run on a near daily basis. I'm also wondering if it would be worth it to go for 4k at the distance I sit at though running it might be harder (I have an rtx 3080 10GB but want to upgrade to an amd card with at least 16GB VRAM in the future).

After looking into it I'm leaning towards a screen with a matte coating because that's what I'm used to but I also read that it kind of diminishes the quality. My room isn't that bright but I get distracted by reflections. On the other hand I have a light behind my screens.

At this point I don't know if I should go for (W)OLED or QD-OLED, I've been looking at the MSI MAG 272QP QD-OLED X24, LG 27GS95QE-B and their glossy counterparts but I feel like I can't decide or I may be missing some info that can help me.

Sorry for the dissertation, I tend to overthink.

I appreciate any help =]

Edit: I haven't even looked at mini LED, feels like I'm in over my head
