Is there a good software to change monitor settings and create profiles?
You may have to, however, figure out the control scheme yourself, with something like winddcutil and then use it inside of a batch script or some simple app. I was able to figure out most of the settings iirc on my MateView monitor, from brightness to gaming profiles.

Question about OSD Sidekick with Dual Monitors
It may be possible to control multiple monitors if you're decent with Python https://github.com/P403n1x87/m27q/pull/1. It might also be possible with DDCUTIL (for Windows - https://github.com/scottaxcell/winddcutil) if you're willing to go that route.

Display-switch: Turn a $30 USB switch into a full-featured multi-monitor KVM
Thanks. I also discovered winddcutil, for those of us on Windows with Dell monitors too old to be supported by Dell Display Manager.

Show HN: Multi-monitor KVM using just a USB switch
I’ve been using display-switch[0] for this for a while now. No problems whatsoever. Works on windows/mac/linux.

Hrvach/Deskhop: Fast Desktop Switching Device
Now it just need to be combined with something like https://github.com/haimgel/display-switch to do a DDC/CI monitor input switch as the USB activity moves around.
With a device like this you'd be missing the on_usb_connect event, but presumably you could do something (a special HID device button, an extra device id appearing, who knows) to make it work.

Can Dell’s 6K monitor beat their 8K monitor?
The best option I've found is to hook both computers up to a USB-only KVM, and plug them in via separate video cables to the monitor. Then set up the computers to tell the monitor to change inputs (via DDC commands, which most but not all monitors support) when you change devices on the KVM
There's software to help do this automatically (https://github.com/haimgel/display-switch)
