Maybe for display identification purposes, we should just put big 1, 2, 3 numbers on all the screens
Yes, numbers is definitely better than printing a *different* string in the monitor label than it is shown in the settings. I dont know why we need to reinvent the wheel here, display sorting is a solved problem, why try to do it so complex?
