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!
There are a few models available with 1920x1080 displays, but they are mostly still 4:3 screens and VGA inputs.
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.
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.
