KVMs are unreasonably expensive and my work was about to throw this one in the dumpster. I just need to order some console cables first but I'm really pleased.

I thought we shifted away from fullscreen!
KVM trays are generally only used for terminal/CLI access where widescreen doesn't make much sense.
Widescreen ones are available (though not as plentiful) when the user is regularly using GUIs on it.
Nope, were shiftin' back, bby.
I'm starting to see a lot of 3:2 displays now. They are not quite fullscreen, but they are a lot better for reading documents than 16:9.
My work laptop is 16x10 and I do appreciate the extra vertical space.
There are a few models available with 1920x1080 displays, but they are mostly still 4:3 screens and VGA inputs.
