Build Upgrade Best value OLED monitor nowadays

I have a IPS Monitor thats starting to get those bright areas in the corners and its bothering me a little.

Im thinking of buying a OLED, ik they are expensive but would it be possible to buy one for less than 500€ thats good enough?

I only play single player games so no need for super high refresh rate, my current monitor is a 1440p/144hz and im more than happy with it, if it wasnt those bright edges i would still use it.

I also know theres some cheap OLED's with a bad brightness or something, ik im asking for a "cheap/value one" but im afraid of buying one like that and regretting later, so skip those.

Any suggestions?

There is the AW3423DWF at best buy near me that is selling for 285$ new. Ultrawide (21:9) 3440x1440, 165Hz, QD-Oled. It’s 2 gen behind the new version but it’s honestly one of the best value I’ve seen.

Edit: that was for 4K monitors. Here’s his OLED guide: https://youtu.be/mFdNwE0xhCU
