A monitor for a Mac

[cos]

I'm looking for a new 27" (or maybe a bit bigger?) standard "4K" monitor (or maybe 5K if not too expensive?) and it's hard to figure out which ones I'd like from online reviews. So looking for comments from people who have monitors!

I want:

• Good color and brightness, but doesn't have to be amazing. Just, white should look white, colors should look reasonably accurate, and nicely bright.
• Solid stable stand that doesn't take up too much desk surface area, but stands on the desk - doesn't require attaching or clamping, and doesn't require any fiddly or tricky assembly.
• Built in speakers that sound decent.
• Easy controls for volume, brightness, and input source select, using buttons/knobs. Nothing requiring multilevel on-screen menus where I have to navigate up/down or left/right to select options, yuck! Volume, brightness, and input select should be EASY to do frequently. This is the hardest point to find information on when reading reviews.

Do you know a monitor to recommend, or can tell me how it does on those criteria?
