A pox specifically on my otherwise delightful samsung OLED, which immediately upon any sort of disconnect event (say, changing the resolution, or restarting the machine) decides to spend 10-15 seconds slow-scanning every other possible input. Exactly none of which have a physical cable attached, and exactly zero of which have ever been used once.

What the devil is taking so long? I'm sure there's some technical reason that the check isn't more instant, but gosh it is frustrating every damned time.

My Acer Predator can disable that option. The downside is specifically for MacOS, the Mac often gives up trying to sync before the monitor has finished its side of things, and since the Acer has a non-configurable, extremely short auto-power-off, so the two get into a death loop.
The technical reason is probably that doing it faster wasn't in the specification.
