in my experience the official dock has trouble with just one monitor. i couldn't imagine trying to configure 3.
when i boot into desktop mode with the official dock, there's a 50-50 chance that it just doesn't load the image at all on the monitor and i have to take it off the dock and just use desktop in handheld mode.
maybe a better splitter or connection could do it. but the official dock seems to have a lot of issues with USB inputs in general.
oh yeah sometimes mine does that too. i have 1440p and 1080p hooked to the dock. sometimes they struggle but i think its just driver issue so i just rebooted the deck and its running normally again.
once you running more than 1 monitor. you can never go back.
