Hello photographers 
I am in a stage where I already set up my new desktop which will be both Hackintosh and Windows-based pc. I get paid for photography and I have a second job as well - means I am not an uber professional but from time to time I have clients. I do mostly events for companies and weddings. I am slowly getting into video making as well. I love b-rolls, I want to make videos from my travels into nature. I do not create content to be printed with 100% color accuracy. So for future plans - I stick with photography(not printing) and video.
I am a huge fan of qHD resolution. To my eyes, it is the best resolution and compromise between hardware load while still maintaining a nice detail(close to retina displays).
And I am struggling in choosing the right monitor for me. Let's say I have a 550 USD budget for a monitor itself. I read a lot of articles, watch a lot of youtube videos but still, I can't decide!
I found out that I might need sRGB accuracy only?
When I had MBP 2015(with dGPU) 2 years back, it was super slow for Adobe apps. Heavier work in PS was just pain in the axx
However, I did love the glossy retina display it had. I really did. I am trying to figure out how close can I get in choosing my desktop monitor?
So my first thought is - IS THE ACD 27 STILL WORTH IN 2020? I come from Czechia and the prices here are a bit higher for a used ACD 27. I might be able to get it right for 550 USD here.
My second struggle is - I am now used to my laptop which has 144Hz screen and I'll be switching back to 60Hz one and I am afraid it will be a big pain to get used to. It is very hard to get higher Hz monitor for this price while being a color-accurate one.
Any opinions on my journey in being incapable and sad which one to choose?
Apple Cinema Display 27"
I would like to justify it is still worth it
And I have a flat with nicely dimmed lights so a glossy screen is not a problem.

I would love to read your criticism and please bear in mind - amazon prices 300-350-400 USD-ish will make it 500-550-ish in Czechia. Thank you!
