Looking for a monitor for video editing

Can you guys suggest some monitors? The monitor is mainly for video editing and office use. Budget is around 600$/€. It should be 27" or above, it's important that it has good colors (most people in the office use Macs if that changes anything for you). It would be nice if it's 4K and has a nice stand (pivot, tilt, swivel). I'm looking to just take the best Dell Ultrasharp for the money. I have a Dell ultrasharp at home and one at the office too and they are really great monitors, so if possible I'd like to stick with the same brand, but you can suggest other brands too.

Nothing better than an ultrawide for video editing, the extra virtual space is very worth it, with your budget I'd go for a LG 34UM88-P

Thanks for the feedback, I wasn't looking at the ultrawides before because most of them are curved at this price point and I don't want that. But the LG 34UM88-P and Dell U2718Q are the main ones we are considering right now.
