At least in 'system preferences/display', when you have two identical monitors
attached, they're called something like 'DELL 1234X' and 'DELL 1234X
(2)' (I canʼt test that right now). If you can show me code on how to
get those names in 10.14, I can confirm. That would be better than
making up names.

I can respin to use the did, if thereʼs no better alternative.
