If you're doing print production work, then it might be worth going down that route. If you have a cheap monitor, then you have a cheap monitor.
If you look at the levels for this image, the black point could definitely be tightened up (see attached). Hope that helps!

Cheers for that Calibrator Phil

See? that version you reworked definitely looks clipped on my screen, soooo the images I have been posting since having this monitor must have looked quite white and washed out on some screens
...Hmmm? what to do...? This image (like many of my NB work) has been absolutely loved by some, even had the comment "your best image yet" ??
while others haven't liked it so much
so monitors and personal taste are clearly at play here
...bloody narrowband...
