thanks for BetterDisplay (Pro) which I use every day since I stumbled over it about 6 months ago!
I have two identical displays (Lenovo P27u-20), one at home, one at work.
Due to the physical spaces, I need to have them in different position (wrt my laptop display).
Unfortunately, I seem to not be able to swap between the two setups without changing around
work screen (renamed to P27u-20 work)
Move Display to right of build-in screen
Set as Main Display
when at the home screen (renamed to P27u-20 home)
Move Display to left of build-in screen
Set as Main Display
This is a little tedious and I thought that setting Default display identification method to Basic + extended + location would help out:
unfortunately, it didn't.
Help or guidance would be much appreciated!
cheers

Oh boy. I am afraid if the display is fully identical, the OS won't be able to tell them apart. Location here means location in the I/O Registry tree, not geographical location. But it might be a great idea to add a feature to differentiate between displays based on geographical location data.

changed the title
identification (and remembrance of state) of two identical displays (apart from serial number)
Differentiate between fully identical displays based on geographical location (using location services)

Not really, because the different name is given after macOS detects the display... You can try using an EDID pass-thru dongle that has writable EDID support (it might be difficult to check which model has this, I don't have a recommendation unfortunately). With BetterDisplay you can change the dongle's EDID and give it a different serial number, that should fix the issue.
