Looking for an affordable allrounder

Hi! I must admit I'm so lost in the forest of all monitors, I already searched a bunch, but I just can't figure it out, so I could really use some help!

I got myself a new desktop, so I need new monitors as well as I currently don't have any.

Ideally, I want a 2 monitors setup. I'm thinking both 27". I don't want curved screens or ultrawide or anything like that. I want 1440p (for at least 1, the 2nd monitor could be 1080, but i do prefer 1440).

I want to use them for gaming, watching movies, and also for design/art/photography, so I'm looking for some colour accuracy! Since it is for hobby, I can't go out and spend €2000 for a professional monitor, that's a bit overkill.

Preferably, the main one is under €500 and the second is like half of that. I could also do with just getting the main one and getting a second later down the road. (Or maybe even getting a drawing tablet as a second monitor, but I haven't looked into that yet)

But I'm also open to having 1 monitor that's more focused on design/colour accuracy and the other for gaming/watching movies.

I would also prefer the monitor to be just black. As my desktop is a matcha green with black build, and I also have light pink peripherals. So I'm not really looking to throw any more colour into that (like white or silver).

At this point, any help or recommendations are welcome!

(I'm based in the Netherlands, so it would need to be available here or in Europe)
