I work on a Mac Mini M1 with two identical 32 inch monitors. And I hate the monitor settings. The one on the left has four and the one on the right has five resolutions. 3840x2160px is too high for my eyes. The next smaller one would be great: 3008x1692px. However, this is not available for the other monitor. The next smallest is 2560x1440px: everything is so huge that it's a total waste of space at 32 inches.
I know it's a luxury problem. But it always gets on my nerves when I want to switch vice versa. I sit in front of it almost all day.
One monitor is attached directly to the M1, the other via an USB-C to HDMI adapter. Unfortunately, there is no point in connecting both via an adapter.
So, let's start work...

Als Antwort auf Drea • •The next problem is (fortunately only sometimes) that the monitors have a different timing than the computer.
When the computer wakes up, it takes a while for the monitors to wake up. The computer then thinks that one or both monitors are not on and changes its behavior: e.g. move all windows to one monitor and no longer operate the other monitor.
At that moment, the other monitor turns on and the Mac switches back and wants to control both again. In the meantime, however, he thinks: "Oh, no signal, I'll switch back to sleep mode". And everything starts over.
Sometimes turning it on and off takes minutes and goes a dozen times, if I'm not doing anything. The only help here is precise manual timing when I turn on the monitors and then wake up the Mac. Or start from the very beginning: turn all off, pull the plugs and start with one monitor.
