If getting accurate colors is your requirement, the min. you need to look for 100% sRGB monitors. DCI-P3, 99% AdobeRGB. Also though FullHD was enough, I feel UHD monitors are a requirement now for the sharpness they offer. Also I found Dell monitors much sharper. Also if you get a 10 bit pannel, awesome. Based on your system configurations, I don't feel a 120Hz monitor will do any benefit though you can get one to future proof.

But in your budget, I feel that you will only get a FullHD 100% sRGB IPS monitor. So get whichever you find cheaper.

Both of the monitors below are 99% sRGB.

LG Ultragear IPS Gaming Monitor Model: 24GN65R​

LG FHD Virtually Borderless IPS Monitor Model: 24MP88HV (The built-in speakers are good)

As mentioned earlier, get a 100% sRGB monitor.

IMO get a gaming monitor as so-called "cheap professional" monitors are kind of a scam in India. You can get a good 1080p gaming monitor for 11-13k. Acer VG240Ys is the 11k option, else the LG 24GN65R is good at 13k. The latter has a height adjustable stand, which is useful. 3rd party stand costs 1.5k or so.

A cheap ₹500 speaker set will be better than in-built monitor speakers.
PS - I have a 1440p Asus monitor which has some shit speakers, they should be put a usable one or removed it. Its good for notification sounds only, volume is too low.

I had bad experiences with Acer monitors. Backlit bleeding is more prominent and also the built in speaker loudness level is very low. Got this in Reddit for the mentioned Acer monitor.

Most monitor speakers are shit.

I own an Acer VG240Ys, its better than sub 10k Samsung or Dell 24" 1080p monitors.

Thanks for advice, but the base support seems doesn't look sturdy enough of these monitors.

Height adjustment is an entirely different thing, as the name suggests.

PS - I didn't like the default height of VG240Ys

As per your advice i have bought the LG FHD Virtually Borderless IPS Monitor Model: 24MP88HV (The built-in speakers are good) last October 23.
Due to careless handling by my son, the display developed Crack and became useless
Kindly suggest new one with the budget below 9k.
Thanks in advance

Even this is more than enough.

Note - It is not a gaming monitor & won't be good for gaming. High refresh rate is good for normal usage as well though.

Thanks for the reply,
My usage is mainly for Dtp work.
Is there a speaker option with 100hz refresh rate available in this range?

Buy a 500-600 speaker, it will sound better than any in built monitor speaker. In built monitor speakers are bad.

I have nothing else to add

So you dont need a 100% sRGB compliant anymore right ? Get anything as cheap as you can and get external speakers. For normal DTP work, I believe even Zebronics does the job. You will get more features for cheaper price.

A good looking one
