My Primary monitor for gaming is a Dell, I don't have the model number but its 27" 2560x1440 gsync.

I'm looking at picking up a secondary monitor, which would primarily be for watching media, web browsing, or having Netflix up while I mindlessly level through wow or some other game that doesn't require full attention. I would most likely want something 4k (is there HDR monitors?) That matches the aesthestics of my main monitor as much as possible. Quality does matter, but I don't need the absolute best in terms of refresh rate. May do some illustrator/photoshop work on it but wouldn't be its primary use.

I may also hook my Nintendo switch dock up to it to use while playing that

This is my current monitor: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-27-led-qhd-gsync-monitor-black/5293502.p?skuId=5293502

There are some monitors that claim to be HDR, but most do not fulfil the real HDR standard, just a lighter HDR10 version of the standard, or cost above $500.
HDR400: BenQ EX3203R
HDR600: Samsung C32HG70

There are good, high contrast VA and IPS panels for 60Hz operation. Of course 4K also has its price.
iiyama ProLite X3272UHS-B1, Samsung U32J590 or Acer ET2 ET322QKwmiipx

Depending on the viewing distance, you might better shop for 2560x1440.
smaller WQHD for $300 Samsung C27H711, 27"
32" WQHD in the same price range: HP Omen 32, (W9S97AA), BenQ EW3270ZL
