I have a recent MacBook that I connect to a monitor at work and one at home. The monitors are the same model of Lenovo and the computer thinks they are the same monitor. At home the monitor is beside my laptop and at work it's above. Thus each time I move my laptop I have to open display settings and tell the laptop to position the monitor correctly.
Surely there's a unique identifier that the monitor supplies that my laptop could use to differentiate between them? Or is this not true?

@philiph@hachyderm.io at work I have two identical monitors that windows cannot tell apart. It's 50-50 whether they are correct or not every single time.... And you can't script flip the monitors left-right... Sigh
