I have 3 1080p displays that I'd like to connect to my new MBP (in extended display mode, of course). What is the best/cheapest way to do this?

Ideally, I would have some type of hub that could supply the MBP with power and connection to the 3 displays through one USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 cable. I.e., sit down at my desk, connect one cable, have power and 3 x displays.

The displays I have can accept HDMI, DisplayPort, or DVI.

I found that MonoPrice offers a USB-C to HDMI for $15. Is there some type of hub that offers 3 x USB-C ports? or 4 x USB-C ports with passthrough charging? Could I use 3 of the MonoPrice adapters to get video to 3 displays out of one port on the MBP?
