Hello tripletwenty,
We would like to see how we can help you with your external monitor showing more than once in System Preferences. Was the display washed out before calibrating the display? Have you had a chance to disconnect the external display from the monitor and then restart? If you then connect the display with the steps in this link, does the issue return: Connect a display to your Mac - Apple Support
Does the same thing occur in safe mode? How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support
"Safe mode prevents your Mac from loading certain software as it starts up, including login items, system extensions not required by macOS, and fonts not installed by macOS. It also does a basic check of your startup disk, similar to using First Aid in Disk Utility. And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and the kernel cache, which are automatically created again as needed.
Safe mode is particularly useful when you're trying to resolve an issue that doesn't seem to be associated with using any particular app. As always, keeping your software up to date is the first step toward resolving any software issue."
These steps can help narrow things down.
Cheers!
