This problem has some similarities to my problem to "unify displays" http://goo.gl/ISVTaJ https://youtu.be/PUW33XSKjik

The feedback I was getting is that monitor problems would only be sorted out with Plasma 5.6 I did try Plasma 5.6 from the ppa, and it seemed to solve my unify display problem, but there were other instabilities, so I am waiting for a more stable subversion of Plasma 5.6.

Same problem with Plasma 5.15.5. When I plug to the docking station, my two additional screens turn black but if I do Ctrl+Alt+F2 I see the console on all three screens.
