I have my desktop on the right hand side of the monitor connected via HDMI and clientco laptop on the left, connected by USB-C. It's powering the laptop over USB-C so far fewer cables too!
If you can install Dell Display Manager on all the inputs you'll be using, you can then use the monitor as a KVM and use the display manager software to switch.
You will have to download the manual as there's things they don't tell you - like the pairing of the inputs/outputs to make all this work.
I sort of like the way, if you're using the screen with a single input, you can 'zone' the monitor and snap windows to each zone. I say sort of because it automatically assumes everything should be sized to fill the zone as soon as you move a window and it doesn't allow resizing or the occasional application to overlap the zones. I tend to turn it on to position key things and then turn it off again.Leave a comment:

I use a 34" ultrawide Samsung. Much prefer this to 2 monitors. And it's great for gaming
If you're a member of IPSE you can go into the Samsung website via their Perkbox thing and get a discount.Leave a comment:

Nearly sent it back cos it wasn't intuitive to set up but I'm glad I persevered. Got 10% cashback via my Amex
I think frame rate and decent resolution are good for less eye strain, as does making sure simple things like brightness and contrast are well configured.

Last year I changed from a monitor to a 40" 4K telly. Lots of "real estate" and it's really working well for me (mostly dev work these days).Leave a comment:

New monitors
I'm thinking of upgrading my two monitors. I want something that is "eye friendly". 20"-24" and at least 1920/1080 resolution. Any recommendations?
What should I be looking for that'll make it easier on the eyes? High refresh rate? High contrast ratio?
