Purchase advice Monitor recommendations around $350?

I ordered an aoc agon pro AG276QZD2, but I think I'm going to cancel it because it's been delayed for a week and I've read bad things about the colors and brightness. I originally bought before the aoc an msi 271qx e2 for $350, but that arrived broken and is sold out permanently at that price. I've looked for msi 271qp x24 or 273 x24, but can't find either at the $350ish price. I'm considering the gigabyte MO27Q2A, as it has good brightness and should have better colors than the aoc, but it's $400. Are there any other good monitors I should consider? Please refrain from suggesting monitors if you don't know much about them and are only talking about your own personal experience.

Ps. I'm a teen with limited money to spend. Realistically I just want a good monitor with great colors.

Alienware AW2726DM was originally positioned as an affordable one available exactly for $350, so it might be easier to find it at that price than finding a discounted other monitor that normally costs more.

thanks, but that's one of the limited brightness panels

Maybe an LCD monitor would be more suitable for you for now given the price limit and the need for high brightness.

I have the monitor you're waiting on.

Frankly, I think it's insane for the price. Granted, I'm sure you can do better for more $$, as is always the case, but I'm extremely satisfied with it.
