Triple-Monitor KVM for Three PCs
The TRENDnet KC-KVM303DH lets three computers share three displays and four USB 3.0 peripherals. Each system connects through one HDMI and two DisplayPort inputs plus a USB link. The console side offers one HDMI and two DisplayPort outputs for extended, mirrored or spliced desktop layouts. It is aimed at users who need simultaneous multi-monitor access to several workstations.
Resolution and Interface Limits
HDMI 2.1 inputs accept up to 8K at 60 Hz or 4K at 60 Hz but do not support 4K at 120 Hz or 144 Hz. DisplayPort 1.4 inputs reach 8K at 30 Hz or 4K at 144 Hz and remain backward compatible. USB 3.0 ports deliver up to 5 Gbps data throughput. Final resolution depends on the graphics cards, cables and monitors used; 8K output requires every link in the chain to support that mode.
Installation Notes and Common Issues
Push-button switching and a wired remote both change the active computer, with LEDs showing the current selection. The unit draws power from the connected systems and includes built-in cables, so no external supply is needed for basic operation. High-power USB devices may require an added adapter for stable performance. Screen flicker usually indicates insufficient cable bandwidth; replacing HDMI or DisplayPort leads with 8K-rated versions typically resolves it.

Questions about this item
Should I use the HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort 1.4 port for 4K 144 Hz gaming?
Use the two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs; they support 4K at 144 Hz, while the HDMI 2.1 output is limited to 4K at 60 Hz.
What does the 8K 60 Hz rating mean for my actual monitors?
You can run one HDMI monitor at 8K 60 Hz or two DisplayPort monitors at 8K 30 Hz, provided your graphics cards, cables and displays all support that resolution.
How do the USB 3.0 ports perform when I connect a fast external SSD?
The four USB 3.0 ports deliver up to 5 Gbps throughput, so an external SSD will run at its full rated speed as long as the host computer also uses USB 3.0.
