Is this the only 49" ultra wide with built in KVM switch?

There are others (e.g. LG monitors), but this has one of the better KVM switches implementations that I know of (such as copying files between computers or using one keyboard and mouse between two monitors)

VA panel. Not a bad price if you're okay with that though.

No Gsync on a ROG Strix monitor? I hope someone can prove me wrong.

The AOC Agon AG493UCX has a KVM. I've got that monitor, with my desktop plugged in via DP and USB3.0, and my work laptop plugged in via USB-C. They share mouse and keyboard. ​

I tried that setting on my asus and really didn't like what it did to sim racing, but it may be great for other games.

I saw a video that you can move files between two computers with this monitor. Can anyone recommend a KVM switch that does the same? I use two laptops during the day, personal/work. Debating to get this monitor just to use two laptops with one monitor.

Love the KVM switch. If I didn't get the EPP discount on Samsung, I would get this.

Do any of these with built in KVM allow you to also do a 2nd monitor? Like if I wanted to get two of these and do a vertical stack would that work, or am I better of just getting any 2 monitors and then a KVM (which they seem to suck unless you spend 300+) or a Thunderbolt dock and just move the USB-C cord back and forth. I actually tried the 45" LG with KVM from microcenter and it would not allow a second display.
