I think you've mentioned in the past you're not focused on competitive gaming at all, so you prefer monitors engineered with a focus on image quality. However, presently, on an unlimited budget, for the first time, arguably the best of both worlds can be had in the same monitor with the new
QD-OLED displays. That's assuming you don't wish to avoid OLED due to burn-in concerns because some still warn this remains an issue in the monitor world. Here's a custom Rtings table and formula weighted for a focus on eye candy monitors:

If QD-OLED, the
Dell Alienware AW3423DW is the variant you'd want because you're on an NVIDIA/G-Sync card (the "F" variant of that monitor is for AMD/Freesync cards). This is a 3440x1440 175Hz monitor (1440p Ultrawide).
Otherwise, you can filter that table by restricting it to the more traditional 16:9 monitors, specifically 4K resolution (3840x2160). Beyond what you see in that Rtings table above, when after the finest image quality in a monitor, today, you can greatly limit your shopping considerations by focusing on two key metrics. First, NVIDIA's official list of certified "G-Sync Ultimate" monitors:

Second, pay special attention to the
HDR Vesa specification. This is listed as HDR1400, HDR1000, HDR600, HDR400, etc. This is different from and more meaningful than most TV-world definitions like HDR10 or HDR10Pro, although HDR10+ and Dolby Vision indicate a high level of performance that should be about on par with HDR1000. DisplayNinja maintains a special table of G-Sync monitors that makes it very easy to identify this:

Among 4K monitors, the
ASUS ROG Swift PG32UX &
ViewSonic Elite XG321UG are the finest in the world, but at $2300-$2465 USD on Amazon, currently, I think most would find these prohibitively expensive. Not worth the cost. Most appear to opt for units from the confusingly named Samsung Odyssey series; for example, this
Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 for $1200 USD
(special note: don't fall for scumbag Samsung's attempt to further confuse and mislead consumers with their self-ordained "HDR2000" label, that means nothing, it isn't VESA-certified). Unfortunately, most of these are steeply curved monitors. If you wish to avoid that, I suggest you use the filters in that custom Rtings table I presented to more effectively scour your options.
