That's weird. Maybe you're not using another active adapter for the 4th monitor.
I've run a 3x1 Display group and 3 extended monitors just fine before.

Honestly, I think you are only using 1 active adapter, in which is only allowing you to use 3 of the displays on 1 card. Use two single-link adapters for your monitors and then use the passive adapters for your tv (the card comes with a minidp->hdmi adapter) and the other monitor.

i think he is trying to combine the 4 displays into 1 group
if you look at jetfires pic his monitors are in 2 groups
create a group with 3 monitors
then click apply
then right click on your 4th display (under please select a display) and select extend
ps: you definitely have 2 monitors connected via the 2 display ports with 2 active adapters if the monitors dont have a displayport connection ?
you said
"All Diplsyport Adapter´s are Original AMD Products and will work fine"
amd dont make displayport adapters you may be getting confused with the mini displayport to normal displayport adapters that come with the card.
when we say active adapters we mean display port to hdmi/dvi/vga adapters (of cours if 2 of your monitors have a displayport connection you dont need them)
like this

"...conter85 used CONFUSION...
It was SUPER EFFECTIVE...
Davros Faints...
Who will come out next?"
Okay now that that is over, I'm actually surprised. AMD doesn't make ANY adapters. Also I'm sure that you mean the other direction (MiniDP->DVI and MiniDP->HDMI). What are the model numbers of the adapters you're using. Or at least link us to those adapters so we can help you out.

A single 5870 can drive, at most, 3 displays at once.
2x 5870 could drive 3 displays each, for a maximum of 6 displays.
Crossfire mode only supports displays connected to the primary display. You can NOT have displays connected to both cards in Crossfire mode.
So, you can not use 4 displays and Crossfire at the same time with 5870s. You'd need cards that can drive 4 displays on a single card.

He's using an "Eyefinity 6 Edition" So he can use 4 displays at once. (I should know, I'm using one right now)

perhaps if the above poster could post a step by step guide - you could follow it
only reason i can think of why its not working for you is
1: 1 or more of your adapters are not active
2: your tv has a different polarity (dont know much about the subject)

It's just like any other eyefinity setup.
You connect everything up using the right connectors.
Put all the monitors you want in the group in cloned mode together.
Create Group.
Select positions of monitors.
Bezel comp (if applicable)
done.

so your setup is different from jetfires he has 3 in a group plus 1 extended
did you have to buy any adapters or did they come with the card

What version of drivers are you using? I think that is your problem. With 10.12 on my sisters comp with eyefinity6 I setup a 2x2 display group of 1920x1200 (3840x2400) to run a vp2290b and once I did that I could not extend to her second monitor (1920x1080). The drivers simply would not allow me to do it. I could, however, do clone to all 5 outputs.
Later I upgraded to the 11.2 drivers and I had *no* issues creating the 2x2 display group and then enabling the 5th output (second monitor) as extended desktop. One thing I did first was disable the output to the 5th monitor after I hooked it up. Then manually created the display group of the other 4 outputs while the 5th one was still disabled. Once I had the display group created I could enable (as extended) the 5th output.
I think ATI's drivers are just finicky and you have to use the right ones. I am guessing the version that the other poster who got this working also allows this like the 11.2 (current newest) ones.
