A KVM generally requires a consistent interface type. ALL HDMI, or all DP.
You have 4 hosts and 3 monitors, is that correct that you want to be able to switch a single keyboard and mouse across?
What resolution and refresh rates are required ?

I am good to stick to ALL DP
I am on 1920 × 1080 across all hosts and on 60hz
you want to be able to switch a single keyboard and mouse across? Yes

There are 4 device, 3 monitor switches, but they aren't cheap -- https://www.tesmart.com/collections/for-4-pcs-3-monitors
HDMI seems to be the more common interface standard, since game consoles and other devices have HDMI.
