If you get the M1 Pro chip inside your 16-inch MacBook, you'll be able to support up to two of Apple's Pro Display XDR, and if you move up to the M1 Max, you can support three Pro Display XDRs and a 4K TV at the same time. The MacBook Pro (2019) can support up to two displays with 6016x3384 resolution at 60Hz or up to four displays with 4096x2304 resolution at 60Hz. When it comes to external displays, both the 20 models can support them with varying limitations. The 2019 model doesn't have any HDR ability.
