Any monitor recommendations for colour accurate work?

I'm currently using a 24" HP w2408h, however the colour seems to shift when I move my head.

I'm considering either buying the best value small screen that I can get with good colour reproduction to set next to it as a second monitor just for colour accurate work (ideally I'd like to do this to keep cost down).

Or alternatively possibly investing a bit more in 24/27" new screen with excellent colour reproduction and relegating my current monitor to be the secondary screen.

Once bought I'll be calibrating it with a Colour Munki and matching it up to print with my Z6100 large format printer.

Cost is important here, I'd rather only spend closer to £200 if I can as opposed to £500 if I can help it.
Does anyone have any advice or recommendations?

Thanks

You could meet in the middle and go for a 27" Hazro when it's on offer. At some point the non-glass should come back to 350GBP, or you could take a punt on a cheaper B-grade (which I did myself and I am very happy, but I suppose it is a lottery). Alternatively, there is the 24" Dell monitors of course.

In descending order of goodness:

Dell U2410
Dell U2412M
Or if you're feeling really cheap and don't mind 1080p then get the 2312HM.

Sounds to me like the 12M is for you though.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll spend a bit of time reading into those models
