As per the thread title I am looking for a monitor with a built in KVM switch to do office + gaming duty.

At the moment I'm looking at the Gigabyte M32U. 32" IPS flat screen, 144Hz, KVM switch

Anything else on the market that I should be considering or should be waiting for?

I have the FI32U and I absolutely love it. Highly recommended. Perfect size, 4K, IPS, 144 Hz. Works well with G-sync.

It's almost identical to the M32U you are looking at.

I have not however used the KVM switch, so can't comment on that.

I have a Gigabyte M34WQ, might work for you too if you are after ultra wide.

Thanks for the feedback, looks like the Gigabyte implementation is the way to go. I pulled the trigger on the M32U.

I also considered the MSI MAG323UPF. Hard to find quality reviews but it looks to be similar if not a bit better, but the kVM seemed to be activated by software installed on both your computers and I didn’t want to have to do that on my work laptop.
