Asus PB248Q or Dell U2414h, they are the best.

You could get an Iiyama XUB2790HS-1, but they do not sell their monitors in the US so...

The U2414H feature TRUE thinner border (nor normal border, with a glass sheet added on top, iMac style, and call it "bazzel-less", even though you clearly see a black border around the screen area when in use, like a normal monitor.

Also the monitor is well reviews: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/dell_u2414h.htm (in depth monitor review site)

One thing that Dell knows how to make, is monitors, and in fact, every consumer grade monitor manufacture should take a page out of Dell.

I was suspicious as you. But, then I relies something. I worked as IT for multiple years at a College that I used to be a student of, and over there and:

-> Among the several hundred (almost 1000 monitors in use), only 3 of them broke. And those 3 of them, were more than 6 years old.

-> Dell is the only manufacture that pushes the industry forward. They introduces "affordable" IPS panels to the consumer market. Before IPS were professional grade monitor only. They introduced the first fast IPS panels which you can actually game, like FPS gaming, just fine, with low (at the time, today it's bad), input lag, and very impressive response time, all by keeping a color processor, Look Up Table, and the image color output does deliver. No downsides. They were the first to bring in affordable low-cost IPS panels, and now they are bringing 4K high-density displays with the 24-inch 4K UP2414Q. They also brought, easy and nice looking on screen menu navigation.

-> It's the only consumer manufacture that offers a very competitive warranty. ASUS being second in line. Dell, for any warranty claim, will pay shipping for BOTH directions. AND you'll get to keep the monitor while you receive the replacement one. (The replacement monitor, will have a pre-paid shipping label in the box, just swamp the monitors, stick the shipping label over the old one, and call the appropriate mail carrier to come and pick it up). It's faulty pixel warranty has no zone or distance policy. You just count them, you reach the amount or pass it -> replacement. No mater the resolution (even the 4K display), it's 6 or more dead pixels, or/and 1 or more bright or stuck pixel.

-> Dell refurbished monitor are like new. It's one of the few manufactures that inspect the enclosure, and if it's damaged or scratched, they'll replace the part. You have to be very unlucky to get anything above a minor scratch on the back or something.

Dell monitors (great majority of them) are easy to assemble. No annoying screws to put in, or you need to put the monitor on a surface and risk scratching it, or anything like that. The stand uses a snap lock system.

So, as you can see, the lock system is solid, it won't came out unless you press the button, and during install, it the monitor does not touch the table for risking scratching it. Just take your time, aim properly, and voila, snaps in place.

The Dell monitors stand of the UltraSharp series and select monitor form other series, are all solid. Won't wobble all over the place, and are very heavy. Contain metal inside. The mechanical system to adjust the monitor, is also in metal, so it will last for a very long time without getting loose. Cable hole in the stand assures that no mater the height level of the monitor, you won't see cables coming out of the monitor, keeping a nice clean look on your desk.

Dell monitors, most of the IPS panels are manufactured by LG.
