See my color management wishlist and get NEC PA302W at B&H Photo. Unless you already have the NEC calibrator and software, be sure to get the NEC PA302W BK-SV.
My workhorse display, the NEC PA302W, is finally discontinued. It remains a critical piece of my workflow. See Long Term: Usage of my Workhorse NEC PA302W Wide Gamut Professional Display in My Sprinter Van + Reasons To Like in General for details.
There is still some stock at B&H Photo; you can buy the white one with the calibrator, or the black one without the calibrator, then buy the calibrator separately; I prefer the black bezel but either should be fine.

Note: on Thunderbolt 3 Macs, you’ll need DisplayPort to drive the screen. The OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock solves it. See also Options for Connecting a Display with Mini DisplayPort or DisplayPort input to a Mac with Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C. There are also various USB-C to DisplayPort @AMAZON cables available, but for me these are no good because they terminate the Thunderbolt 3 bus and thus all devices would have to be on just to use the display.
