I have a Gigabyte M32UC 3840x2160 monitor, i like gaming on it, i just feel it's somehow to big and to high a resolution to be perfect for me

Matching my 1920x1060 monitor could be a 29-30" 2560x1080 (ppi) but the selection is very limited and nothing for a reasonable price is super

27" 2560x1440 can be had for the same price, va 144 hz or higher with focus on allround and gaming, curved would be okay to match my aoc 24" curved monitor (va 160hz,1080p, freesync,1500r curve)

max 400 euros or $450

Gigabyte M27Q X seems like a good choce but is way above 400 euros also above 500 euros or the non x version (alot cheaper)

You can also look at 34" ultrawide monitors that have the same vertical height as a 27" except they are 33% wider at 3440x1440 resolution. There is a good price on an AOC that fits your budget and is 144Hz.

Not good enough

Noticeable black smearing with fast-moving objects.
Narrow viewing angles
 
Viewsonic has really bad Bad black uniformity.

LG Low contrast ratio 1000 is about normal it's almost under 800, is it even bright enough for me ?
There is also this one that fits your price range.
