EDIT:  Ended up going with this one after a bit of guidance.  Thanks all!

Hey there folks!  So, my current monitor has been bugging me for a few years, as it has trouble differentiating between shades of black (ie, caves in games look like featureless black voids, and 80% of the screen doesn't even show when watching darker shows like Daredevil on Netflix).  I've saved up what I think is enough money for a new one, but I'm having a bit of trouble picking one out.  Maybe you folks could help?  I have an Amazon Prime account, so I'd probably have the best luck ordering through there, but I'm open to other suggestions as well.

 

Basically, any monitor I'd pick would need Four things:

 

1.  Be around $300.  That's how much I've saved up, though I do have some room for flexibility.

2.  Be 4K...I'd like it to last me the next several years, and while I'm no expert, I've been told 4K is around where we're expected to be these days (though please correct me on this if I'm wrong!).

3.  Be at LEAST 21.5 inches.  That's where I'm at now, and I'd feel weird getting something even smaller.

4.  Have an easy to access easy-reading function...or whatever that setting is called where the screen dims and warms so you don't strain your eyes reading white-pages in the dark.

 

I could really use some help on this!  Hopefully you folks can offer some insight? Even if you don't have a specific monitor to suggest, I'm open to other bits of advice, such as brands to avoid or features to look for!  Thanks all.

For this money you get here in Germany a 24 inches 4K Monitor Or even 28 inches by Amazon!
