Not that I know of. At least not which would describe what you're
asking for.

As a rule of thumb look for monitors with IPS panels first and then
for monitors with A-MVA or PVA panels. TN-Panels are always inferior
for color critical work. High-End hardware calibrated displays are in
the price range you have quoted and would be the best choice of
course. If you have to run a software calibration you will loose tonal
values -- which may result in visible banding of smooth gradients.
Best regards
Peter
