Safe upgrade for BenQ XL2420T?

[DV2FOX]

While i've did a similar topic here before months ago, there hasn't been a clear decision, but now my monitor got a couple of "brush lines crossing part of the screen" and it's mostly seen on white screens among other colours

It's a bit hard to see but i've used arrows to point em out and i don't think there's a solution for it (But if there is lemme know)

So i want to get rid of it but every monitor nowadays is a Russlan ROULETTE of issues or things to keep in mind..

Mine's a BenQ XL2420T, a 1080p TN 120hz monitor that's been resisting for over a decade

I'm a gamer of all genres (FPS,etc. Not much into the competitive side of things but clarity/motion/speed is important), but i'm also an artist and been defending myself just fine with the latter part, even for a TN.

I also work/game with natural light and with the ceiling's lights. Going all dark is rare.

The issue when looking for a new monitor is that

-IPS has IPS glow and backlight bleeding lottery, along "dark scenes appears with greys", something similar with my monitor (On RTINGs it's... Basically the same if ya compare a BenQ XL2548X or something with an IPS monitor.Only one has more yellowed squares than the other. My TN might look cloudy but not as worse as having a mix of different colours ruining a dark game's screen)

And it's not fun having to buy and return a monitor till you win...

-VA has smearing and that's a huge no.

-OLED is the worst of all due to the burn-in stuff, no matter if people says things have changed a ton, etc. I have tons of static elements and i don't want to see ghosts from the past laughing at me (Already had a Samsung Galaxy A53 do that on me. Never again)

While i have an OLED TV (LG C3 42") due to a huge issue with my previous TV, i control myself with it (No more than 4h even if varying media). I use my PS5 on it and the PC sometimes for movies or games certain (Again, moderation)

I was looking back again to Benq's TN monitors but now all of em are around the 500€ price range compared to the 300~€ i had with my actual one and some of these monitors at 60hz has high input lag /response time (Who knows when ya wanna play a 60hz game again...) or some others have , surprisingly, backlight bleeding

The Benq's K series have coil whine, wich i'm highly sensitive to it and got tinnitus because of it, while it seems the X ones doesn't but the XL2546X has high input lag at 60hz, the + model is said to have backlight bleeding, and anything above seems unnecessary

Yes, i know people would say "Get the Viewsonic" but i've seen many people returning it so... No...

Any recommendations for 24-27"s (Both if possible)?. No 4K, as even with my 5800X3D and 4070 Super i don't want struggles, etc...Minimum 1080p or max 1440p

I already waited to see the CES 2025 news but most of the monitors are OLED or 4K (Although there's a 27" MSI that can do 4K and 1080p, probably reducing the screen with black borders to prevent the pixels to look like *BEEP!* while getting the best performance possible, but IPS glow/backlight bleeding, AGAIN...)
