A 27-inch 1440p 240Hz IPS gaming monitor with a KVM switch and a surprise: USB-C input with DP Alt Mode. That USB-C only delivers 18W though, so it will keep a phone topped up but won't charge a laptop — plan a separate power brick. Two HDMI 2.0 ports and DisplayPort 1.4 cover console and PC sources. 3-port USB hub includes a USB-B upstream for KVM.
27-inch 1440p 240Hz IPS gaming monitor with KVM switch, HDMI 2.0 x2, DisplayPort 1.4, and USB-C DP Alt Mode (18W PD).

Notes & Compatibility
USB-C delivers DP Alt Mode video + USB data + 18W PD — enough for a phone or tablet, not a laptop. KVM switch routes the USB hub between HDMI/DP source (via USB-B) and USB-C source. Rev 2.0 was released in August 2023 with the same port layout.
