I'm finally moving from my almost decade-old 5k iMac to an M1 Studio cheap as can get - but need a monitor. I considered some of the hacks out there to turn the iMac into a monitor but they seem too kind of price out around a new / used decent monitor anyway so...

Any recommendations? 2015 5k was many moons ago - I don't need blistering new tech, just somethign where I won't notice the difference in gamut / nits / and gotta say I'm partial to the glossy.

Thx!

Ended up with open box LG 5k from eBay certified refurb - sop far, so great - I didn't install any LG app as some mixed feedback on that but unit is pristine and doing great as a replacement.
LG 27" UltraFine 5K IPS LED Monitor for USB-C Apple Mac 27MD5KL-B

*commentary - I'm kinda shocked there are not more 5k monitor options on the market in the 8+ years since the 5k iMac.
