The Mac Studio is available with both the M1/M2 Max and M1/M2 Ultra chip but neither chip affects which monitors or displays it can support. The Mac Studio can also handle Ultrawide monitors including 34-inch, 38-inch and the biggest 49-inch displays. The good news is that both the M1 and M2 Mac Studio can can support up to 4 external monitors via Thunderbolt (or 5 via Thunderbolt if you have the Mac Studio with M1/M2 Ultra chip) including 4 Apple Pro XDR displays at 6K resolution which should be more than enough for most professionals.

In the Mac Studio with M1/M2 Ultra chip, there are 6 Thunderbolt ports as the two USB-C ports on the front are also Thunderbolt 4 compatible plus an HDMI port. The Mac Studio with M1/M2 Max chip has 5 ports to connect monitors, 4 of which are Thunderbolt 4/USB-C and an HDMI port which you can connect to any TV as it supports both image and audio output. The latest Mac Studio has the best external monitor support of any Mac with 5 external displays possible in total.
