It’s crazy how many aspects of the electronics in monitors are seemingly phoned in, even on models exceeding $1000 in price. Problems like non-unique IDs and EDID not being available right away are such trivial issues to solve and probably wouldn’t even cost that much in the long run and yet here we are.

I wish a company like Framework or system76 would get into monitors and open source their monitors’ electronics and firmware so at the very least, these issues could be fixed by the community.



Another bit that is phoned in is macOS handling of the displays, which makes certain things like KVM switches problematic...


It also seems like it's getting worse? Apple's new high-end screens are a travesty, and $1000 Samsungs are no better.
