Won’t this have a painfully long delay as the monitor negotiates the different input port?

Not only does every monitor I’ve owned take seconds to do this, it often screws with the desktop layout and such when display devices seemingly come and go. Or am I misunderstanding this?

No, all monitors I have used are connected (as in the OS sees the monitor) even if not the current active input.
