ANY good 32" 1440p 144Hz+ options out there?

Does anyone know of any option that ticks all these boxes or some monitor on the horizon that might be worth waiting for
- 32" 1440p 144Hz(+) IPS or VA
- Flat or 1800R ~ 1500R curvature tops
- Static strobe/anti motion-blur functionality in 144Hz or greater, for me personally 144-180Hz or thereabouts would be suitable provided the panel can keep up with the pace (I'm not that much into the variable refresh rate implementations so far) with little crosstalk or ghosting (I think Samsung G7 is probably the only VA panel which might satisfy my needs there but it's too curved for my liking)
- Non-oversaturated SDR color space (ie. some form of working "clamping" or whatever so not games and normal webbrowsing looks oversaturated)
- If IPS should be minimum ~1000:1 or so contrast ratio
Price doesn't matter. Ie. I'd even pay 1000€ for this rather conservative request if there was one that fit the bill even if 4K 32" monitors these days could be had for less.
Based on my own research I see this plaguing this form factor currently (correct me if I'm wrong or if I have overlooked any option):
- Samsung the only VA panel that satisfies in the motion clarity department among VA panels but it's using 1000R curvature which is very extreme.
- The current IPS panels out there seems to be suffering from oversaturated colors in typical normal content useage without proper sRGB clamp or the sRGB mode is so limited in adjustability it's useless
- The IPS options are mostly budget orientated and all have their strenghts and weaknesses in various departments, either a bit better motion handling but poorer image quality (low contrast for example). None is a "premium" offering that does great in all aspects.
