Hard to say what is available where you are & at what price. Dell one you mentioned is ok-ish, bit lower colour coverage than good IPS panels, also curved is not everyone's cup of tea.
LG 27GN850-B vs Dell S2722DGM Side-by-Side Monitor Comparison

LG 27GN850 would be good, except for its contrast ratio. Check price of MSI MAG274QRF QD as well, would rate it above LG one.
Samsung Odyssey G5 S27AG50 vs MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD Side-by-Side Monitor Comparison

If those 2 are too expensive, look at Gigabyte G27Q, it has an RGB panel. Use rtings.com, maybe post prices of options from LG, Samsung (maybe new G5 is available), Gigabyte, Asus & Acer.

Okay I incorrectly linked. I meant S2721DGF
Its flat panel monitor.
Edit : Nevermind its out of budget. I misread somewhere about price.

G27Q is in budget.

MSI Monitor is out of budget

GN850 is out of budget but I can extend if its good.

If you don't think that the low contrast ratio of LG will bother you, then just get that

This seems to be the new Samsung G5 I mentioned earlier. Compare this & GN850 & take your pick.

Between GN850, Samsung G5 and G27Q which one do. you think is best ?

 

[SaiyanGoku]

If you decide to return in the future, no matter what monitor you have, customs would go full retarded on how much to charge you if you do bring it to India. Keep that in mind.

Do not recommend Gigabyte M27Q.

Why?

PS: If it's okay, can we discuss about job openings in your company in PM?

 

[Nerevarine]

There's no way Im bringing a monitor with me back to India lol. M27Q has BGR subpixel and funny business with windows text clarity. I would just avoid it altogether.
Besides, theres a spike in cost for M27Q here, its above 500 euros for some reason.

and yes you can PM me.

No best among those, choose where you can compromise, compare in rtings.com.

GN850 for best response time + colours, but bit lower contrast
New G5 for best response time + contrast (for IPS), but bit lower colours
G27Q for best colours & contrast for IPS, but bit lower response times (former 2 have 1 overdrive preset which works well across refresh range from 60Hz to max refresh).

There will be other differences as well, like G27Q has a USB 3.1 hub. If you don't play too much MP PvP games, G27Q will be good. But its not like G5's colours are way worse, so that can be considered. I personally am able to distinguish between 800:1 & 1000:1 contrast IPS panels (likely because I have been using latter or AMOLEDs), so I personally avoid LG's nano IPS panel.

Damn all three look very good choices. I think I will go with either G27Q or G5.

For non gaming usage, like movies and browsing, G27Q is the better option right ?

Edit : I think G27Q seals the deal, its the cheapest (320 Euro) + USB Hub gonna be a boon when switching from mac to pc. Its no KVM but its something

Ordered G27Q for 325 Euros. Thx guys. Will post pics once it comes.

 

[Nerevarine]

Update on this. I ordered G27Q for 325 Euro but today I saw the price has decreased by a full 60 euros (Rs 4800 ).

So I cancelled and ordered again for 266 Euros. I think for 266 euros, its a killer deal.

Good deal

In India, some sellers had G27Q for 22-25k. Amazon has high prices for certain parts.
