I'm a fan of the Dell 27" 4k monitors. I have a P2715Q and a U2718Q. Both have worked for me for years without a single issue.

I use both at once. Left monitor is a Dell U3818DW 38" curved (3840x1600) My right monitor Dell Ultrasharp U2718Q 27-Inch 4K IPS Monitor (3840 x 2160) If you price them out, they are are very cheap per day - $4 a day.

Dell U2718Q is our standard-issue monitor, and close enough to Retina that I can stand to use them side by side.
