Looking for advice for a 2K(1440p) 27" and up

So here is the situation, I currently have a dual monitor setup. My main monitor is an old (2008) HP LP3065 30in monster 2560x1600 monitor. It has served me well for the 3-4 years I have owned. I got it second hand from my work back then,( which we picked up as a monitor pickup from a command center for a power company.) however it has been occuring more frequently, the monitor will burn the current image in, and hold it for some time, until a new image is displayed. This monitor is also very finicky, hates all forms of adapters, and it only has Dual Link input. I do like to play various games, FPS like (COD, L4D2), Action Games (Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed), Third person shooter (The Division, Gears), Simulator games (Spintires), Management/RTS games (Frostpunk, Supreme Commander, Cities: Skylines). I also will be using this monitor to work from home as well. 


I want to replace my main monitor. I am looking to spend absolutely max 400 USD (before taxes and shipping).  I have been looking at a few monitors but I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on any monitors that you have seen or used.  Below is the list of monitors I have looked at and are on the "short" list.

Needs list:
2k
between 27"-32"(give or take 5")
Ideally above 120Hz

Would be nice list:

VESA mount

Its what I'd recommend, about as good as it gets for 400, it is a TN though but it's a really good TN

My absolute favorite is the asus pg279q only thing is I had to return 2 to amazon because of stuck pixels but the 3 one I have is GREAT. 
I also tried the lg 27gl850 before and really didn't like it. irritated my eyes and gave me a head ache. 
I also tried the BENQ EX2780Q but I returned it because of a stuck pixel.
