“My multi-purpose monitor is terrible when streaming darker movies or widescreen movies. There's a grayish rainbow swirl and the black bars are like a smokey gray color when watching widescreen. Will this monitor do a better job with darker film/videos?”

It wasn't too bad out of the box on SDR, however some fine tuning can help the black be more deep. As with most HDR400 monitors I've seen, you definitely need to do some fine adjustments (Nvidia CP for me) to avoid what you're describing in darker color gradients. The default setting in windows is far too flat and dim for an HDR 400 monitor.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There's a review on a well known tech website that rates the blacks very good as you would expect on a VA panel monitor like this. Your current monitor is probably an IPS panel, they are known for having "IPS Glow" where the blacks aren't very dark. It's a limitation of the technology.
