Do you want a video monitor or another computer screen? If you just want another computer screen to put bins on to give you more real estate on the iMac, then pretty much any will do. I use an old 20″ Acer from 2007. But for video output, you need a real monitor for color correction. I use a Flanders Scientific. They’re about $2500 for a 22″. And that’s a great deal. Sony makes an inexpensive 22″ that doesn’t get very good reviews for about a grand. Many say it’s soft. But if you don’t care about SDI input and color correctness, then grab yourself something down at Costco or Sam’s. When I first started HD I just had a cheap Vizio. It was surprisingly accurate, but after 2 years the colors started to oversaturate. It’s the bedroom TV now.

What does that mean? Accurate video colors? Go for the Flanders Scientific LM-2140W. $2500 or so. What kind of device / card do you have to output? If you have thunderbolt the cheapest option is the blackmagic ultrastudio mini monitor.

Yeap.
Have a look to the Dell.

I’ve discovered that both my computer monitor and old t.v. sets are not accurate when viewing my projects (went to a friend’s house, where she has big, high def t.v.)
the biggest concern was that my final credit roll (white text on black) looked multi-colorful and shimmering on my monitor and t.v. but did not look that way on hers. So now I can’t trust that what I’m seeing at home is accurate.
So, I need a new monitor that will at least show me what’s really there… but needs to be around $500. Is there such a thing?

It depends how much you are depending on accuracy. I just got 2 Dell’s U2410.
Very good screens with IPS. They are a bit pricey (around 400.-), if it doesn’t have to be that accurate, there is also the successor of that screen – I believe 2412 or 2413. Quit a bit cheaper and still very good.Greetings,
