Changing Monitor Names

I have two external Samsung Monitors and my Macbook Pro. Is there a way to change the names of the monitors? (Their currently LF24T35 and LF24T35(2)).

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 14.5

Your Mac came from the factory with no external display-names included.

YOU did not Type the names you see there now.

The Mac does not use ANY side-loaded so-called "Driver" files from wth Windows world.


instead, the Mac sends a query to each display, and gets the name and capabilities for resolutions, etc. of the display, from the display itself.


There is no standard mechanism for changing the names (or capabilities).
