The last thing you want is to be editing images that constantly shift in colour when your viewing angles change. Also if you're set on 4k then I'd suggest at least a minimum screen size of 30 inches anything smaller is pointless for reasons explained in previous posts. Another thing to consider again depending on how serious you want to be with processing is getting yourself a hardware monitor calibrator. It'll take readings not only just from the screen but your environment too. This way you get a calibration that's tailored to your individual workspace. If you want to go next level then create a neutral room by painting the walls grey and use controlled lighting. Otherwise only process at night or keep your blinds closed and live like Dracula.
Thanks for the advice. I am not set on 4K as needed thing more a less eye strain monitor with accurate colours. I calibrate my desktop monitor and I think its quite close.

Greg.
