Hi Richard,
I am not sure why you bought the CSV-5400. The Surface 3 can support up to 3 external displays with the tablet screen off. The fourth DP port will not power on.

How many screens can I connect to Surface Pro 2 or Surface Pro 3?

The number of external screens your Surface Pro 2 or Surface Pro 3 will support depends on the refresh rate and resolution settings, and whether the display on your Surface is on or off. For Surface Pro 3 it also depends on which Surface Pro 3 processor you have (i7, i5, or i3).
