Configuration guide

Four computers + three DisplayPort monitors

A four-computer, three-monitor DisplayPort topology where every host must supply three independent signals and high-refresh modes need complete-chain verification.

The practical answer

TESmart DKS403-M24 is the current direct catalogue match for four computers and three DisplayPort monitors. Its topology and headline 4K144 capability are manufacturer-confirmed, but the KVM cannot create missing host outputs. Treat refresh above 120Hz as an end-to-end Display Stream Compression (DSC) check across every active computer, adapter, cable and monitor.

Compatible with limitations

TESmart DKS403-M24

Compatible with stated limitations

What this means for you: The manufacturer documents four computer inputs, three DisplayPort monitor outputs, USB 3.2 Gen 1 and monitor-setting retention (EDID). Every computer still needs three independent DisplayPort signals, and high-refresh operation depends on the complete chain.

Product-specific limits
  • Every computer needs three independent DisplayPort-capable outputs for three extended displays.
  • The 4K144 headline does not prove every three-display GPU, adapter, cable and monitor combination; verify the complete signal chain.
  • It does not charge a USB-C laptop, and high dynamic range and variable refresh are not confirmed.

Compatibility constraints

  • Each of the four computers needs three independent DisplayPort-capable outputs for three extended desktops.
  • The manufacturer’s maximum timing does not prove every GPU, adapter, cable and monitor combination.
  • No USB-C laptop charging is provided, and a Mac needs one native display stream per monitor.

Recommended setup sequence

  1. Prove all three target display modes directly from each computer.
  2. Map and label three complete DisplayPort paths for every host.
  3. Connect the KVM using certified cables, starting at 4K60.
  4. Raise refresh one display at a time, then test monitor-setting retention (EDID) retention, wake and USB switching.

Technical term unclear? See KVM terms explained for plain-English definitions and practical consequences. Compare the current 4K and ultrawide KVM timing evidence before relying on a headline resolution.
