    Looking for DisplayPort KVM, 3 or 4 displays, 2 or more computers, USB 3.x.

    Which KVMs can do that?

    Please advise what do you mean by this...
    1) A multi-screen scenario, in which each computer has multiple video-heads, resulting in a KVM switch supporting a console that consists of one keyboard/mouse and multiple screens (for extended desktop purposes)? or...
    2) A KM switch scenario, in which the console consists of multiple screens, each connected to their respective computer, and only the keyboard/mouse are shared?

    Multi-screen for extended desktop.

    Actually, on second thought, USB 2.x would work just as well.

    Multi-screen KVM switches with native DisplayPort are currently available supporting only dual-view (two screens, two video-ports per computer).

    If you must have three or four console-screens and support three or four video-heads per computer, you may want to look at the these Quad or Trio DVI or VGA models, and use video adapters:
    - DVN Pro Dual-Link Multi-Screen KVM Switches
    - AdderView 4 PRO DVI MultiScreen
    - DVN Pro Multi-Screen KVM Switches
    - AdderView 4 PRO VGA MultiScreen
    Note: You will need, of course, to confirm that the video resolution you need is supported by these models.

    These could work for you because DisplayPort video is compatible both with DVI (digital) and VGA (analog) video, and so simple adapters (not converter) are needed to adapt the connectors.
    See VGA-DisplayPort adapters and DVI-DisplayPort adapters.
