I mostly use laptops and run my RPi headless, so no direct experience,
but...

My requirements for a dedicated screen would be similar to yours, if I
had a Pi 400, so here's what I like the look of from a quick search.
I have no idea whether they are touch screens or not because I don't care
about touch screens unless they are on a PNA / PDA / phone, but of course
ymmv.

There is quite a nice 10.1" 1200x1920 display selling for $80 in the US.

There are other 10.1" screens around as well, but these seem to be only
1280 x 800, so a bit coarse grained unless all you want is an 80x24 text
display *and* anyway these are little if any cheaper than the 1920 x 1200
one.

These screens all seem to be in  some sort of enclosure, judging by the
photos, but who really knows without seeing one on a counter?

I'm a little surprised that nobody is jumping up and yelling that they
have just the display you need for a Pi 400, but I suppose its still
early days for that, though I see that the Pi-Top people have got a sort
of laptop setup for the Pi-4 on Kickstarter -  a V. thin kbd and screen,
with the Pi 4 in an enlarged strut behind the screen for $200
