Ask HN: Best monitor for a MacBook Pro for ~US$700?

I've never owned an external monitor my whole life (mostly due to a nomadic lifestyle).

The only screen I'm used to is the default Retina Display on a MacBook Pro. I'd like to buy my first external monitor and I can't figure out which one.

— Usually, I buy Apple hardware, but Studio display feels excessively expensive

— I live in Singapore, so I can't return a monitor other brands if I don't like it

— The review sites on the internet don't feel very trustworthy

If you had to bet on 1 monitor for ~$700 without trying it, which one would you pick? Which one has worked well for you and why?

Notes: — I don't play games or watch Netflix

— I code occasionally on the weekend. I do work with professional, large codebases, but not as a full-time engineer

— I have a great external webcam

— Don't own an external speaker
