Currently, my two thunderbolt monitors are Thunderbolt (1) and Thunderbolt (2). Is there a right way to change the name?

I'd love to have a Thunderbolt (Left) and Thunderbolt (Right)

  • It gets the name from the EDID data from the monitor itself. You need to edit that info to change the name – Allan Feb 24 '20 at 20:36

    And how can you change the EDID data from the monitor itself? – J0ANMM Dec 11 '20 at 12:56
  • There is another thread https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/350345/how-to-edit-a-monitors-edid-information-to-change-its-preferred-resolution about editing EDID informatin, just quickly reading it, I am pretty sure it is not worth the hassle. – X_841 Dec 17 '20 at 16:06
  • Apple could easily enable this, but they haven't / won't. Maybe somebody else will figure out a hack. Starting point? ioreg -lw0 | grep "DisplayAttributes" – Huliax Apr 13 '22 at 20:04
