Hello, I've been trying to setup my office to switch from personal to work pc with a KVM. I've been able to solution the personal PC just fine but running into issues with the work laptop. Can't seem to get all 3 monitors running at a good resolution. Ran into various issues from flickering to only displaying at -460p. When using DP everything works great but haven't been able to find a docking station that has triple DP nor has my attempts at purchasing HDMI -> DP cables worked. Been getting frustrated now so reaching out for help. For the work laptop, I only care about getting 1080p and the peripherals if that helps at all. The current docking stations I have, one works rather well and if I can find a working HDMI->DP cable, that'll complete this. But if anyone knows a 3 DP docking station that can handle this, I'd take that as well. Or is there something else I may be missing?? Here is a very detailed and professional level diagram of the setup

three high-resolution 1440p screens running at 144hz will consume more than the available bandwidth. Make sure your laptop meets at least dp2.0 and your dock does the same. Beyond that, the dock can handle three 1.4 displays, but you can only send three at a time without exceeding the port limit.
