I’m considering getting a new monitor.  I see that there are 4K IPS monitors in the 27-32” range for around $700.
I could get away with another 2.5K, particularly at the smaller size range.

One of my gripes with my second monitor is that it doesn’t have brightness or contrast controls for matching it with my primary monitor.

Has anyone done research on monitors lately and found any particularly good values or nasty things to avoid?

You might want to check out the ASUS ProArt monitor series.  I have a
24" ProArt that is seven years old and still going strong.  I calibrate
it about every 30 days and find there is generally little or no drift in
the calibration, and it syncs nicely with my Epson P-700.  When it comes
time to replace this monitor I'd have no hesitation going with the
ProArt again.  Amazon and B&H seem to price the 32" in the $700 range.

Not much research but I've been using EIZO monitors for many years and
have just bought a CS2740, earlier this year, that I'm quite happy with.

I particularly appreciate their 5 year warranty. Only had to use it once
but it took just one phone call and the next day someone stood at the
door with a replacement.

I don't know if this was a good value or not, but I bought a
Viewsonic VP2785-4K 27" 4K Monitor and am more than happy with it.

4K is the standard now for photography editing. I wouldn't buy smaller.

I've got two LG UK50T 32 inch 4K monitors. I'm fairly happy with them
except all of the text is smaller than the bottom line on an eye test
chart (I still do a lot of Photoshop tutorials).
