BenQ PD2500Q seems best among those because of 1440p resolution. Only you can decide if the ultrawide aspect ratio will benefit you or not.

At this price point, 100% sRGB coverage is what you usually find. Just avoid TN & VA panel for your usage, also curved monitors.

You can also get a gaming monitor like this one which has 100% sRGB as well, but is 1440p at 144Hz with freesync/gsync:
Amazon.in

Look at some reviews online. Acer XV272U has the same panel as Acer VG271U but with a better stand. Usually, professional monitors have better out of the box colour calibration than gaming monitors. If you can manually calibrate the monitor to your liking, gaming monitors are an excellent choice IMO. Or if you are not too sensitive about colour accuracy, you can work with gaming monitors easily.

What're the specs of your PC/laptop?

LG 29WL500-B is also a good deal but it has non adjustable stand. and i think Benq is good with colors as compare to LG.

and Overall if you see Benq GW2780 has a variant Benq GW2780t which has adjustable stand and another good deal in 18K
