Right now I'm leaning strongly towards a Dell UP2516D:

Looks like it will give me the color specs I want plus a big increase in
resolution, though it falls short of a 4K.
The current "good" monitor will go to the secondary role and the really
old monitor that is the current #2 will go directly onto the scanning
machine. (An old Windows XP / Ubuntu dual boot that the Nikon LS8000 is
connected to.) The secondary monitor has been shared via a KVM switch
between the two PC's till now. The KVM is wearing out and is even more
of a finicky pain than it was when new, so it'll be good to see it go.
I will be glad to have this wrapped up so I can back to spending money
on new cameras and lenses.

Thanks, Igor. I think you summarize the situation very well. My leaning
right now is to go with a wide gamut monitor first and then maximize the
resolution within the limits of what I have decided to spend. I might
need to up the size I am considering to 27 inch diagonal - more options
at the large size - but there seem to be some workable solutions. I'm
not too worried about some applications not recognizing the wide-gamut
color space. I also confirmed the the i1Display calibration tool will
work with a wide gamut monitor, so no issue there...
I can order form B&H for a few days anyhow, so that gives me some time
to research.
A couple of thoughts:
You don't necessarily need both displays to be super high quality. You
could just do everything where color was critical on the expensive
display.
Do let us know what you end up getting. I mentioned that used mac pro
I got a great deal on, it turns out that my thunderbolt display does
not work with it. I suspect that backward compatibility is against the
macintologist religion or something.
