It still amazes me that in the 21st century no computer can use a couple of extra monitors reliably without sometimes not detecting them, getting in the wrong resolution, or other strange issues.

Me too. Sometimes it's even just one monitor.

I don't know whether to blame the monitor or the KVM, but one of my desktops on Windows will try to feed my monitor an unsupported resolution at boot.

Not if I switch to another KVM input and back. Not if I wake it after suspend. Not if I boot the Linux install. Just Windows on a fresh boot.

Don't get me started on the mess that seems to be HDMI.

Display conformance to the communication standards are a hot mess. That’s generally the biggest problem
