After spending a good deal of time scouring Google and the MacRumors forums, it seems that the Late 2016 15" MacBook Pro might only support two external displays, but here's where it seems to get confusing:
Can anyone confirm the maximum number of supported displays for the out-of-the-box Late 2016 15" MacBook Pro? The goal over here is to run three external 4K displays, but it'd be great to know precisely what limitations to expect, even if that means using external devices or adapters.
As Andrew Cunningham at Ars Technica explains, AMD's Polaris-based Radeon Pro 450, Radeon Pro 455, and built-to-order Radeon Pro 460 GPUs in the new 15-inch MacBook Pro support up to six displays, whereas Intel's integrated GPUs affixed to the logic board can drive a total of three displays.
The expanded support enables the new MacBook Pro to drive two of Apple and LG's new UltraFine 5K displays at 60Hz simultaneously. (Source: https://www.macrumors.com/2016/11/14/late-2016-mbp-amd-gpus-support-dual-5k-displays/)
