Help with monitor suggestions/ dual monitor setup
 

Hey guys, so I was interested maybe in this monitor:

or this one:

These are both good sizes for me to have "two" on my desk. I was wondering, if I wanted to connect these two monitors together to my work laptop, do I need to check something? Like compatibility?

And what do I need to buy to connect those two monitors together so that I can hook it up with the laptop? Is it possible to have the laptop in a "closed" state, but still running on the two monitors with an external mouse and keyboard?

Thanks, I'm really not too tech savvy, so a little confused here about what it is that I need to check to make sure I can actually run the dual monitor setup efficiently/properly.

And if you guys have better suggestions for dual monitor setups (like which monitor you'd recommend) please let me know as well! I plan on to mainly use this for work, with a very occasional gaming thrown in here and there, but mainly for work (Excel work, etc.)

Thanks again guys!

And is this the guy i need to connect it to my laptop:

Reading closely, it says that for gaming it would be best to use the primary display, because this USB adapter is intended for general usage.
