Potential monitor upgrade

For a few months now, I have been considering the possibility of upgrading to another monitor. Currently, I have the XL2546K.

On the other hand, the only monitors I've ever used are TN panels at 1080p. I was thinking about upgrading to the XG27AQM to get a newer experience at 1440p with an IPS panel, but I'm not sure if it is worth the price.

For uses, I plan to use it for everything--video editing, watching movies/tv shows, playing games.

If anyone has better recommendations, my budget is around $700 (tax/shipping included).

Before my move, I was using the Dell S2721DGF, can be gotten for around 350-400 and goes on sale for lower sometimes.
I will say you'll have to fiddle with the colors but besides that it was really enjoyable. Although you'll be taking a refresh rate downgrade, but I do believe there are 240hz models out by now.

Anyone know if that AW2524H is any good aside from it reaching 500hz?

I would recommend iiyama g-master gb2590hsu, I've been using it for around 4 months now and I haven't really had any issues with it, although keep in mind that the colors might be a bit weird, but aside from the colors which can be set to different settings anyways its a pretty good option. It goes for around 600$

if you want to upgrade for a general-use monitor i would say wait a year or two for the new 4k 32inch oled panels to be released or the 1440p 27inch 360hz oled panels. innovation on the oled front is being pushed wayyy more than anything LCD-wise. i dont think its worth buying new monitors with LCD panels when the technology is this stagnant
