Hello folks, I have a new setup plan in motion and I'm looking for a 1440p 144Hz monitor with the following requirements:

Display size: between 24" - 29" (neither smaller than 24", nor larger than 30")
Manufacturer: not really a special preference, as long as it doesn't look too much like a spaceship, because the rest of my setup will not look fancy
Price: up to 500 - 550 USD
Framerate sync: A genuine gsync monitor would be ideal, although I believe in this price range it is difficult to find one, so I'll settle with a freesync monitor that is "gsync compatible" when run by newer nvidia driver versions

I'm especially interested in good build quality, because after a long long time of searching, half the reviews on every single monitor seem to complain about backlight bleeding, dead pixels, IPS glow, banding, flickering etc. I have never experienced "a lot" of backlight bleeding in my life so I don't know how much I can withstand it, if it is too prominent. I also don't want to spend a month sending doa claims, so good quality of panel would be among the top priorities.

So in final words I'd like a reputable monitor that can last me 2-4 years without major issues from the first week.
Thanks in advance
