Choosing a Budget Monitor

So I've been using 2 Acer G235H for like over 10 years now and one of them died. I'm kind of particular about both monitors matching and I'm out of a job atm so I'm not looking for some budget options.

To make matters more complicated, I live in Japan. Maybe it's because of being in Japan, or maybe it's just been too long, but I don't recognize the brands or a lot of the specs I'm looking at. My goal is to find something under ¥20,000, although it's not a hard rule.

**Current system:**

Monitor: 2 Acer G235H

GPU: Nvidia Geforce RTX 2060

CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-13400F (2.50 GHz)

Ram: 64.0 GB (63.8 GB usable)

**What I'm currently looking at:**
