Dell Ultrasharp U3023E 30-inch 10-bit 100%sRGB monitor $449

Probably this is not a deal, since 100%sRGB panels are popular. But it has a 10-bit panel and accuracy rating is delta<2.
Low blue light and non-flicker features.

By the way, usually I don't post monitor deals. But another 10-bit panels(not FRC) < $800 and >=27 inch here, I remembered it was a Lenovo one, > 98% AdobeRGB, and accuracy rating delta<2.

Drawbacks I see are 60 Hz only and no 2160p. On the plus side and from my limited N=1 view, why I like Dell monitors better than most is, they seem to demand and get the better selected panels from manufacturers. No dead pixels and uniformer IPS image than your typical 2nd tier integrator.

Currently have a Dell G3223Q and i3wm as my daily driver. Blacks could be better but image is very uniform, colors are very vibrant. I can switch to even multiple of a movie's fps above 60 Hz using xrandr and modelines, so there is absolutely no judder when a star ship is moving across a field of stars. Also am using the new tear free code by Sultan Alsawaf from xorg Git modesetting: add support for TearFree page flips (!1006) · Merge requests · xorg / xserver · GitLab. Linux desktop and multi media content played through mpv has never looked better.

Most home labbers may not care about adobeRGB at all. It's really a good price if you are a designer.

I have three of these, EXCELLENT monitors. All of them also OC easily to 75 Hz.

Wish these were in Europe I could use one for my test setup.

If you're using a Mac, these are also particularly desirable because they're in the 100-120 PPI range you need for proper 1x scaling. Nearly all monitors of this size are 4K, which is in the 120-200 PPI no man's land where 1x is too small and 2x is too big. These weren't available when I was last monitor shopping, but if I were I'd have probably gone with them. I miss 16:10, too.

30"@4k may actually be pretty well usable. My main monitors are 4k 27". Most of the time I use them with 1x scaling, bumping scaling from time to time to 1.1-1.2, what makes the image close to what it would look like on a 30" screen.
27" IMO is the absolutely minimum size for 4k, but 30" might be pretty comfortable, especially if you want to use more than 1 monitor.

EDIT: Of course all depends on your sight. I don't need glasses for reading, but YMMV.

I just upgraded to a 4K 32" Monoprice. At 4K I had to set the scaling to 200% or go blind squinting.

The wrinkle with macOS is that it's sorta a choice between 1x and 2x. There isn't actual intermediate UI scaling, so if you want to run a 4K panel at 2560x1440 effective it's actually rendering a 5K image and scaling it to the 4K display, which makes things a bit fuzzy. It's fine for most uses, but if you're a perfectionist it's not ideal.

Of course, this is with young eyes; I know there are a fair number of Mac users who are fine with 2x 4K because it's effectively a particularly sharp 27" 1080p monitor.
