iiyama ProLite XUB2792UHSU-B1 on my M1 mini here. 27” 4K IPS.

5k would be better but it’s good enough and pretty damn cheap. And it’s not 1440p which just isn’t good enough now.

That monitor doesn't have a USB-C input, right? How do you connect both a PC and a MacBook, if you don't mind me asking?

I use a USB-C to DisplayPort adapter for the Mac: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075V27G2R/

I use a PC as well and that’s connected to the HDMI input and you can switch between from the monitor controls.

That adapter doesn't provide power, right? I assume you just have the power connected to the laptop too and you're good to go.

That’s correct. I’m using a Mini so that’s not an issue but with a laptop you’d have to connect power and the monitor separately.

Lenovo sell one that does provide power.
