nothing crazy! No webcam or strange audio gear to speak of.

@Lord Xeb ahhhh I see what you mean. Hard to switch easily with 2 monitors. Perhaps just a solid decent resolution but large monitor with multiple inputs then.

Hey Nate! @Lord Xeb Thanks for chiming in I have been thinking about the 4k element and I am not so sure I need it. I would definitely rather prioritize physical screen size in order to get the most I can out of having multiple windows open / working at the same time for audio. It just feels much better editing audio with a larger screen as many of the actions require close precision clicking on tiny things / my eyes aren't that great. Perhaps a 2 monitor setup is right for me after all? Hmm. Also @Lord Xeb I'd certainly be open to upgrading my video card if it meant a much more workflow friendly monitor setup

Hey there! I'm looking for advice from people who know much more than I do regarding monitors and tech! I'm a video game sound effect designer and I need a few very specific things out of my mac / pc setup. Here's what I already have: - A PC I will be using for sound effect design (Geforce 970) - A 2016 Macbook Pro I will be using for mac-specific audio programs, and game platform testing - Keyboard and mouse Here's what I would love to be able to do: - Use one large decent resolution monitor for both my PC (display port) and macbook pro (HDMI) and toggle between those inputs while using the same mouse and keyboard - Have enough monitor space to comfortably view my digital audio workstation and the video / game window I will be designing in sync with - Run a 144 hz monitor for occasional gaming on the PC - Maintain low latency between the monitor and the computers, as listening to the timing of SFX with video playback is a priority Budget - 300-500 USD What would he ideal setup here be? I don't know much about what adapters / cables might allow this. Is it realistic to hope for all of this? I'd love to make it as easy as possible to smooth my workflow out and switch inputs quickly / not have to think too much about it as it would make my work day a lot easier! Thanks so much
