Currently looking for a new monitor to replace my existing set up, id like to combine the external display for the MacBook Pro and PC into one screen.

I would like it to connect the Mac via usb-c and the pc via a DP cable. The problem I'm having is I would really like to keep a high refresh rate for gaming on the pc and I can't find a usb-c monitor with a high refresh rate in 4k with that connection.

does anyone have any suggestions?
 
Most high refresh monitors only have 1 connection DisplayPort that can do native res + 144Hz and if they have a second HDMI connection, etc. it is usually limited to 60Hz. You'd have to use some kind of USB-C Thunderbolt 3 (assuming its supported) to DisplayPort adaptor and some kind of DisplayPort switch (which tend to be stupidly expensive) unless you are happy to keep swapping connections manually.

EDIT: Also high refresh 4K displays are pretty much non-existent anyhow - there are 1-2 on the cards including some release in September but I've not heard much in the way of positive stuff about what you can get at the moment i.e. losing features >100Hz or so, etc.
