    Question. I've a Surface Laptop 3 Model VAC-00022. I've a Surface Dock 2 that displays 2 external monitors correctly. I'm hoping to use the USB-C from the laptop itself to display a 3rd monitor. I tried buying a USB-C to HDMI cable but that doesn't work. That probably doesn't work because the other 2 monitors are USB-C to HDMI from the Surface Dock 2 itself.

    Does anyone know how to get a 3rd external monitor, so a total of 4 screens (with the laptop screen working as well)?

    Which USB Video Cards did you use? Looking to just ensure compatibility.

    It supports 3 monitors only including Surface's monitor.

    If you want to use the fourth monitor, you can buy windows wireless wifi adapter:

    Connect the fourth monitor through wifi.
