Indeed 1080p is way to low for a large monitor, and $200 is also a difficult price to achieve any good quality. The good options will be in the $500+ range.
However, there are deals to be found, I suggest you focus on 4K only, and larger than 32 inches, the brands you chose are good.
I bought an ultra wide Samsung with higher than 4K resolution for about $500, so it's definitely doable.
and $200 is also a difficult price to achieve any good quality.
You are right! I mentioned at the end that I was thinking to spend around $400 this time.

Thanks! I ordered this one "used but basically new" for $500 now:

Oh this one will look good! A month ago I was struggling with even basic code reading (double text) so I embarked in a quest for the crystal clear text feeling that we need for programming and settled on this one:
It’s 144 Hz, looks cool, text is sharp and it can be found for 400$ too I think, so if even the one you found ends up being meh in text I’d suggest you 27” @ 4k
Now there are a lot of parameters when it comes to choosing a monitor but the bare minimum would be IPS, 1ms-4ms of response (no ghosting) and for me at least 120hz but it’s because I got used to it and everything else looks tacky/laggy

Should be pretty good! Great price for sure.
