Hey guys, I'm into Music Production & gaming. I need to know if the Asus PG278QR is able to run a MacBook Pro Touch 2016 & a gaming PC at the same time, while having the best connection between MacBook Pro and Monitor and not loosing the function of G-Sync between Monitor and Gaming PC.?

If this setup should work, will I still be able to plug the Samsung T3 SSD into the Monitor and use it as an external storage for the MacBook Pro?

I think I can use Hdmi for the Macbook and DisplayPort for my gaming pc.

I just hope that the T3 shows up on my MacBook after I plug it into the Monitor.

It should, just be aware you need to connect the monitor's USB hub to the macbook with a separate USB cable for the hub to work, not just the HDMI cable.
