I'm using the BenQ PD2720U monitor linked in the other response. I have a detailed review of utilising that monitor for color grading on my website ...

 

BenQ PD2720U Monitor for Color Correction or Grading?

 

You can see pics of my setup, a detailed account of my calibration process, and how it works. In all, I'm quite pleased with that monitor. And understand ... I'm a contributing author for MixingLight.com ... a pro colorist's training subscription website. The monitors the professionals run are full broadcast reference rigs ... an SDR monitor such as the Flanders and Eizos (and a few upper Sony's) that group run are well above $5,000USD, and if you're talking HDR ... that group can't get by with less than $20,000 monitors.

 

I don't have the budget nor the need for such blazing pixel uniformity as they do. But ... I want as close as I can get to that for my suite. My tastes are perhaps to the picky side of things.
