Are budget 4K monitors good enough for color work?

For sRGB-based work, several affordable IPS panels here are praised by high-trust testing for accurate out-of-box sRGB. For wide-gamut or HDR-critical creative work, reviewers point toward OLED or wider-gamut DCI-P3 panels, and warn that cheaper monitors run dimmer and lack true HDR. Match the panel's gamut coverage to your actual workflow.
