just to clarify again: best case would be a US$9K (or higher) OLED, minimum entry level is Eizo CG...
if ur budget does not allow for that and u can't find a used one (somebody is selling 2 x Eizo CG on LGG), next step is finding a decent low-end screen (full Rec 709 coverage, least amount of uniformity issues [that will be hard], hopefully 10-bit in via HDMI) and use an external LUT box (eeColor) - this worked okay a while ago with the original HP Dreamcolor, but that screen also had wild uniformity issues...
if that does not fly, find again that (cheapo) screen, BMD Mini monitor, and use built-in Resolve 3D LUT...
I would look into lower end Eizo, NEC and maybe Benq... make sure the screen covers Rec 709/sRGB (same gamut).
get decent budget meters: colorimeter (i1D3) AND spectro (i1Pro Rev D) will be ur best choices.
You will have to use Argyll, as I doubt u'll have money left to spend for the premium cal apps.
