The only real failsafe for buying a cheap monitor is to buy a monitor calibrator... which cost as much as a cheap monitor. The calibrator isn't a bad thing to hold onto though and you only ever need to buy one, so I'd say budget for one anyway. In fact, even mid-tier monitors can have shit colours or be marketed as "movie" or "gaming" or even "vibrant" (which are all code for "we made it oversaturated on purpose guys!"), so a calibrator is again the wiser purchase.
But, if you deadset didnt want to pay for one and were just looking for "good enough", the look for monitors with a high sRGB colour gamut as close to 100% as possible. Something like 98% or greater is a decent spot, but monitors said to be beyond 100% (say 123%) are overtuned and inaccurate still.
AND YET even if you buy one an ASUS PRO ART for $500 there's zero guarantee that it'll be calibrated correctly because panel variance exists. So buy the fucking calibrator.
