need help in Colour Calibration Question

[paintballz]

Hi im currently more into photo editing.
currently using a normal AOC monitor 20".
i want to improve my colour calibration so i'd get more or less the exact colour when i print out my photos.
i intend to get a new monitor but im not sure what to get. can anyone suggest me here? or is it another thing that i should take note of??

budget : $300

there is no such thing as printing the exact same color you see in your monitor because even if your monitor is damn accurate, the printer is limited at producing the exact same shade or tone due to ink/toner restrictions.

and right now in the market, Dell Ultra-sharp series is probably one of the, if not the best in terms of consumer-priced color-accuracy monitors. But they cost more than $300 definitely. Of course, high end ones are like Eizo but they go over $1000.

Get a color calibrator.

You will need both a high gamut monitor AND a very good print colour calibrator to achieve what you want.

If you are doing printing or photography for a living, a calibrator is as important as your camera. Since TS wants accurate printing colours, then he should be prepared to spend.

Also, that is a shop in Singapore.
