Bought a 240hz IPS, returned it, need recommendations for a good 240HZ TN.

Hello forum.
I have been gaming on a very mediocre middle of the pack Dell S2419HGF, its a 27inch 144hz TN monitor, I love the monitor, it's just that on anything other than the "normal" Response Time mode the monitor has a TON of ghosting. I'm usually on the "fast" setting but still it is bad. Plus it's a 27 inch so not the best clarity for a 1080p.
Here is where the f*ck up happens. I order myself a new 240HZ IPS monitor, the Dell S2522HG. I unbox it, set it up. Use it for a few minutes, first impressions are wow, cool colors, cool motion clarity on 240hz. But then I started shifting my eyesight from right to left. I kid you not a WHOLE AS* cloud was following my vision. The IPS glow was SO extreme, like just going to https://whitescreen.website/black-screen/ and using the black monitor, and just shifting my head a tiny bit left and right, there was a huge BALL of grey pixels following my vision left and right. It gave me literal headaches, I was literally nauseous all day, needless to say I returned that monitor and I am never touching an IPS after that. I understand that I could have just got a bad model, I understand that most IPS monitors are probably sick, but I just want a good 240hz TN panel, to enjoy tac fps shooters such as valorant and CS:GO, maybe some Tarkov and COD.
So here are my top options in my area (Greece):
1080p 240hz:
HP Omen X 25: 340€ (My current top choice but its hard to justify at 340, since I can get a 2k at 420€)
HP Omen X 25f: 290€ (Rtings has this monitor as one of the best, but people on this forum are saying there is ghosting)
AOC 24G2ZE/BK: 240€ (For whatever reason this one is listed as 4ms) (There are all TN panels btw idk why there is a same panel IPS)
AOC 24G2ZU/BK: 270€ (I'm wondering if these two are the exact same model? But for whatever reason this one is listed as 1ms)
Ozone DSP24: 320€ (This one is not available so will have to wait longer to get)
Also as for 2k 240hz:
HP Omen X 27: 420€ (I am wondering if this is a better option than the X25 since I am used to 27 inch plus it's a 2k)
Samsung Odyssey G7: 475€ (Have my doubts about VA)
Thank you for any recommendations boys, and apologies for the longer type post <3 Looking to order my monitor soonish so any input helps much love!
