Hi there - have read some conflicting answers on here and would really appreciate some clarity.
I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports).
Running Catalina 10.15.7.
With the right adapters (multiple HDMI?) can I use these two monitors? https://www.costco.ca/hp-24f---23.8-in.-ips-led-monitor-bundle%2c-2-pack.product.100645893.html
I want to have two monitors extended, not mirrored.
Thank you.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
Yes, you can drive two of those displays from your Mac (in fact, you can drive to displays add up to 4K resolution). You’ll need to connect them via HDMI.
The simplest way is to pick up one of these:

You can connect one HDMI cable and your MacBook‘s power adapter to that, and plug it into one of the ports on your Mac. For the other monitor, you would simply need either a USB-C to HDMI adapter or cable (widely available on Amazon, etc.).
if you want to get fancier, you can pick up a dual monitor dock. Avoid the ones in the $50-$100 range on Amazon, they do not drive the monitors as independent displays. Look for a dock from Brydge (Stone Pro), Elgato, OWC, Belkin or Kensington, expect to pay $200-$250.

Great, thank you very much!
Can I run dual monitors on my 2016 Macbook?
