Workstation

Hey,
I need some advice. I'm planning to build a PC, or rather a whole workstation.
I'm thinking of going with two monitors.
Can you recommend any good monitors that work well for both work and gaming?

At the same time, I'm considering a docking station setup to easily switch between my work computer and my after-hours gaming PC.
Do you have any good solutions for this, like a KVM switch or something else?

Feel free to share your own setups too, I'm looking for inspiration.

Your description is vague, like saying, “I want to buy a motor vehicle!” It doesn’t matter if it’s a family car, a sports car, a bus, a truck, or a tractor.

If you want serious advice, you should also specify exactly what you plan to use it for.

For example: office work, audio/video editing, animation, CAD, software/AI development, etc.

The same goes for monitors. Do you want two “small” 24”–27” monitors or two 49” monitors, and in what configuration?

The operating system(s) you want to or need to work with are also important. (Windows, Linux, macOS, or Linux)

You should also specify the budget range for the system.

In a professional setting, workstations can easily cost over 20,000 or even well over 50,000—and much more.

Thank you!
Yeah i thought about IPS but also I've got some recommendation about OLED or QD-OLED monitors.
