Dual Monitors/ Mac/PC?

[Semsec]

I just bought the new 2018 TB Macbook Pro which has 4 Thunderbolt 3 ports and a Alienware Aurora Gaming Desktop which has Ports (front): 1 x headphone, 1 x microphone, 1 x USB-C, 3 x USB 3.0 Ports (rear): 6 x USB 2.0, 4 x USB 3.0, 1 x USB-C, Rear L/P surround, Coaxial S/PDIF port, optical audio out, Ethernet, DisplayPort .

I was wondering what monitors and/or docking station you would recommend so I can plug and play my mac into as well as my PC. The fewer cables the better. I would like to sit my mac down on the vertical stand and connect one cable and have the dual monitors come to life, and then change it to my PC and have the same thing happen. If it's possible a Samsung monitor would be best but I am open to any and all opinions.

Thanks in advance!

I use a USB-C capable LG ultrawide that works well when I want to dock my Macbook or Yoga. Samsung looks to have a few USB-C capable monitors (some are daisy chain capable).

Have you tried to hook up dual monitors?

Yeah. I had one hooked up via USB-C and the other via HDMI using by Lenovo USB-C hub.

Ah, Thanks man! do you know of any hubs that support multiple monitors? From what I have seen Samsung does not have the best usb-c monitors so I'd rather go with HDMI or anything in order to make it work better.

Not that I have personally tried, but this seems fairly well reviewed. https://smile.amazon.com/Sabrent-Thunderbolt-Supports-Monitors-TH-3HD2/dp/B079JKGBFS

Max resolution would be around 1080p right?

I think I am going to end up going with this monitor instead!
