Good morning, I'm wondering if I can use my 21.5" 2019 iMac as a monitor for a Mac Studio M4 Max. And if so, what cable should I get? Thanks
iMac 21.5″, macOS 15.6

No.
That hasn’t been an option for some years: Use your iMac as a display with target display mode - Apple Support
In a word, no.
You need to buy an external display, they start at less than $100
I can ask for some advice, yes what monitor to buy I need at least a 27 or 32 inch, clearly Apple monitors are the best but for me they are too expensive, something valid even if not the best . thanks
If you have a retailer nearby with some monitor displays, visit and see what the different resolutions look like, and for some prices.
For comparison, iMac 21.5” is 4K: 4096 by 2304 pixels.

This model is hard to find and many scalpers out there so not much of a deal. At the beginning of this year it was being sold <$1000 but now not so much. Model #LG UltraFine 27MD5KLB-B
I also have the Apple Studio Display which you can get for less than retail.
For general computer use, Consumer Reports recommends ASUS ProArt PA248QV, 1920 by 1080, for under US$200.
Depends. Do you want one with speakers, cameras and extra ports or just a display? Many to pick from. I use an LG 27" 5k with all the content noted.
Hi and thanks for your reply. If you are satisfied with your monitor, you can share the model. Thanks.
I've had success with LG, Asus, dell, samsung and lenovo
Imac 2019 can it be used as a monitor?
