This did not help identify anything lol

Created attachment 153319 [details] This did not help identify anything lol SUMMARY Right now the Identify button in the Display Configuration settings UI is not very helpful in a situation where a user has monitors that are of identical brand and model. Because the Identify button will display a text box across all monitors displaying the device ID of each monitor... ... which means, when all the monitors are of identical make and model, all monitors will display the same text. Which doesn't help the user much in identifying which monitor in the dropdown list/layout window is which. :D I attached an image of an example, my own three monitor setup, where I have three monitors all of identical make and model and the text that displays on each screen. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have 2 or more monitors of identical make and model. 2. Click Identify in the Display Configuration UI OBSERVED RESULT On my three monitor setup? Three labels with identical text on each monitor! EXPECTED RESULT Numbers would be nice.
