Curved anti-glare gaming monitor advice

[nogoodreason]

Hey all

My PC is in the attic so the only natural light source (roof window) often creates a lot of glare. It's just about tolerable when browsing the web, but when gaming I currently have to pull down the blind and either sit in darkness, or use a floor lamp I've put behind my monitor. None of these setups are ideal, but as rearranging the furniture isn't practical I'm looking into monitors (preferably curved) that'll at least reduce the issue.

Current monitor is nothing special: an ASUS PB278Q.

I spent the afternoon reading up on modern gaming monitors and quickly fell down a rabbit hole of VA vs TN vs IPS, and whether or not QLED is worth it, and it's safe to say I'm no expert in this realm.

Monitors I'm currently considering:-

ASUS ROG Strix XG27WQ - £469.99

ASUS ROG Strix XG32VC - £518.99

Gigabyte Aorus CV27Q-EK - £368.99

Samsung Odyssey G7 LC27G75TQSRXXU - £549.95

(Looking for a minimum of 27", maximum of 32")

I've been quite blown away by the difference in price between monitors which appear to be very similar in spec. Am I burning money by getting an ROG, or will that QLED and those extra lights actually be really beneficial for when I'm gaming in the dark/to fight off glare?

Please weigh in with any and all advice, suggestions and opinions.

Resisting the urge to order it tonight, but I'm mostly set on getting the ASUS ROG Strix XG32VC. So if anyone has any warnings about why I shouldn't please leave a comment before tomorrow evening.

bias lighting strips to go behind the monitor? Either cheap & cheerful dumb lights or "ambilight" type which will follow what is shown around the edges of the screen?

I've seen a couple of flat rectangular strips which offer this - do you know of any good bendable/curved ones that would fit okay on a curved monitor? They do sound like a worthwhile investment.
