(HP 27es Full HD 27 Inch IPS LED Monitor)
Can someone help me understand how to have a triple monitor setup? Either laptop or desktop?
The 2015 MacBook Pro can only support up to 2 external displays.
It has 2 Thunderbolt ports which can be used for the displays.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) - Technical Specifications
It may be possible to get a 3rd monitor to run if it has the secondary optional AMD Radeon graphics card and an external thunderbolt dock with an additional thunderbolt output, but the setup is not really supported.

The 5K iMac can support up to 2 displays plus its own for a total of 3.

If you need to support all 3 external displays, then a Mac Pro can do so just fine:

Yes. You can setup an extended desktop between 3 monitors, and have different Apps in in each:

Set up an extended desktop
When you use your displays as one continuous desktop, you can spread out your work any way you like. Move your pointer past the edge of one display and it appears on the other display. At first, your primary display has all of your desktop icons and open app windows. You can drag them to the other display as needed.
Which MacBook Pro exactly? Depending Model you'll need different cables.
Also you want 3 screens plus the built in screen on the MacBook Pro for a total of 4? Or do you want 3 total. The Builtin screen and 2 external ones?
For the newest 2016 Model, you'll need USB-C to HDMI adapters:

Depending on model of MacBook Pro you may need a dock for a 3rd external monitor and charging, since some models only have 2 USB-C ports.
Thank you for your reply. The monitors I will be buying, they each have 3 HDMI ports and vga. And this setup will be used for graphic design. So will I be able to use illustrator on one monitor, photoshop on another and YouTube in the third?

Thank you for your response. Since I have hdmi outputs for my monitors. For the MacBook Pro, which cables do I need to connect all 3 monitors?
Thank you for your response. It's the late 2015 Retina display laptop. Also, I don't plan on using the laptops screen as a 3rd monitor. I'm using 3 external monitot
I just purchased 3 (Hp 25es) monitors. So is there another PC you can recommend I buy to support all 3 of those monitors?
