According to rtings, Acer Nitro XV275K P5biipruzx is the best mid-range mini-LED monitor they tested. I am very interested in a 27inch mini-led because of mixed usage. I need an all purpose monitor for Windows 11 where I primary browse, code, read pdfs and watch youtube. I have been wanting to get a good monitor for watching movies and need good black levels in a moderately bright environment. Is this monitor good for my usage. I can go up to $500. I want to pair this with my HP X27q (2021 Model).

Alienware - AW2725D is around $475 which I was interested in but it's not good for my mixed usage. Looking for the next best thing.

I am looking for a 27 inch monitor for watching movies and regular work. I am eyeing Alienware - AW2725D but it's glossy. I need semi-glossy or matte. Would that affect the black levels? I want to be able to watch dark movies with deep blacks. Thanks. I have microcenter and bestbuy nearby.
