I am considering purchasing an Apple Studio M2 computer as an upgrade from my aging iMac 27. I also plan to buy a display for my LrC & PS editing since my trusty NEC P221W could use a size increase. I'm looking for a display within the 27"-32" range with a price ceiling of about $1,500. My primary consideration is accurate color management. With the bewildering array of available displays, I would love to get some recommendations from both LR & PS users. I know that this is somewhat of a subjective request since everyone has their own criteria. Even narrowing my selection down to solid, reliable brands would be helpful. As a side note, I do NOT do my own printing; but rather send my images to a lab for printing. Some photographers have said that might be a factor in display selection. Thank you so much for any input. Truly appreciated.

LG and Samsung make Thunderbolt displays that work well with Macs. Personally, I have an LG 34” 5K:2K display that I like a lot.

Yes. I’ll use the internal display on my MacBook Pro if I’m away from home, but the LG is my primary. It’s wider than necessary for me for photo editing (given the 3:2 aspect ratio and the tool sidebars of DxO PL), but I also connect my work MacBook Pro and for that the 21:9 width is very helpful. Basically it’s a 4K display with extra space on the sides.

The Apple Studio Display is great, but is at the top end of your budget. I have been happily using the glossy version for the past 2 years without issues.
It wasn’t a real upgrade from my 27” imac and the price is due to the lack of competition, but I still like it. Sounds like I might have Stockholm syndrome
If you’re shopping for 27”-32” sized displays, have a look at https://bjango.com/articles/macexternaldisplays2/ to avoid blurry text. 27” needs 5k on macos, 4k will lead to scaling issues.
