Feelworld monitors are my go to cheap monitor. They have 3 or 4 models under $160. They are extremely bright. The screen isn't 4K, but the input is, so the zoom function will let you get great critical focus. They are cheap, but solid. Super basic: https://a.co/d/7M7LxCz With false color and waveforms: https://a.co/d/2mfilR8 Eventually you can pick up a cage for them to have lots of mounting points and be stronger. We think of them as our "disposable" monitors.
