What's the best monitor for office, music production, photo editing?

Not going to be gaming.
I use a MacBook Pro 2020 which only has 2x Thunderbolt USB-C ports. I've got a USB-C hub but it only does HDMI 4K@30Hz and I want 60Hz
Want to go above FHD resolution, so 2K or 4K
And size to be 27" or above
I'm thinking I'll probably get a DisplayPort to USB-C cable to get 2K @60Hz

Don't want to spend too much, preferably in the $300-$500 range.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

  You ask for recommendations of the best, but then you set a low budget. Can't have both.

  I was looking at monitors for my 2020 MBP just before June 30. I realised my budget wasn't going to allow for a good 2k or 4k 27".

  I ended up buying the Dell ULTRASHARP U2520D for about $450. I'm really happy with it.

  How about Lenovo D32q 32" QHD IPS monitor, $397.

  It is available around Canberra at Fyshwick, Belconnen and Tuggeranong Officework.

  Or, keeps an eye on Kogan 32" QHD IPS monitor and Kogan 27" QHD IPS monitor.
