OK I am fairly convinced by the Affinity Photo trial, but I think I
need a better monitor for my Macbook Pro (my current LG monitor on the
PC is showing its age). Obviously, Apple will be happy to sell me
something (at a price), but any suggestions for good products somewhere
between budget and Apple prices? Any good review sites?

OK! What edition of MacBook Pro do you have?
Does yours have Thunderbolt and/or HDMI support?

What size are you looking for? 27"?

Take a look at some of these and compare them with the Apple display.
All are available via Amazon.
