My wife uses the first version of This Monitor. However we bought it for $200 on sale at one point. At the $200 price point its very solid.

I looked up other monitors I have recommended to friends and family and everything seems to be on the more expensive side right now. Like $50-$100 more than normal...

ASUS TUF is another one to look at.

This is the model we have..

I’ve heard that buying monitors from non name but brands can be bad like getting a bad panel and bad color accuracy is that true

Well color accuracy is true, but if you want super accurate colors you'll be spending a lot of money. Getting a bad panel in a monitor is possible for every brand. I have seen $700 monitors have dead pixels within the first week. You just RMA it with whatever store you buy from and get a new one.

The color on the AOC is pretty good, the blacks are really good being a VA panel. The ASUS TUF Series has better colors, but they can be more expensive.
