If your X server supports RandR 1.5 or newer, i3 will use RandR monitor objects
instead of output objects. Run +xrandr --listmonitors+ to see a list. Usually,
a monitor object contains exactly one output, and has the same name as the
output; but should that not be the case, you may specify the name of either the

two scalers internally, so its output names might be “DP1” and “DP2”, but the
monitor name is “Dell UP2414Q”.
