There are different monitor technologies for Thin film transistor liquid crystal monitor displays, (TFT-LCD):

• Twisted-Nematic (TN)
• In-Plane Switching (IPS)
• Patterned Vertical Alignment (PVA)

Based on what you described I'd guess your monitor was a TN type. Those are the cheapest ones to make.

Unfortunately there is no, one best monitor.

However there is a nice selection of good monitors out there. What is your budget?

The best will cost you well north of $1500 USD.

Additionally, for professional results the monitor display will need to be profiled for your specific installation.
Colorimeters are sufficient for profiling if you are not making your own prints, but you would need to download the ICC profiles for the printers your print lab uses so you can soft proof with your image editing software.

If you are making your own prints, you would need a spectrophotometer to profile both your monitor and printer. X-Rite ColorMunki Photo Color Management Solution CMUNPH - B&H
