I am planning to build a PC rig now. Later point I will be buying Mac Mini. I intend to use the same monitor for both. Pls suggest a monitor for same.

Ideal budget would be 6-7 k. I can go upto 10 k.

or

Benq e2220 HD for ~ 7.5k

You will have Full HD monitor and connect them via HDMI/DVI as Mac mini supports both

Can I connect both MAC and PC to monitor simulataneously?

I will be viewing ony MAC or PC output at a time; however I dont want to keep disconnecting/ switching the cables repeatedly

you can get any monitor with dual i/p like hdmi and dvi. connect ur pc thru HDMI and mac thru DVI or vice versa. set ur monitor i/p settings as auto so that it picks up the i/p source correctly.
