Hello.

Is it me or normal for macOS to reset my display setups after
disconnecting and reconnecting the same external HD 1080 monitor (HDMI)?
It resets to default Retina default tiny GUI and texts from scaled
1280x800 resolution (want bigger GUI and texts due to old eyes) set in
macOS' accessiblity. Is there no way to have macOS remember these since
it's annoying to retelling it? This is with an over month old 2020 13"
MBP (Intel i7).

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering.

I constantly connected my older MacBook Pro to a Samsung 27" monitor with HDMI. It would recognize the resolution of the external monitor automatically.
I used both monitors side by side.

My boss had an Apple 27" monitor with much higher resolution and his 13" MacBook connected up to it and recognized it with no problem.

that's not the issue. The monitor works fine and us recognized
correctly. "It resets to default Retina default tiny GUI and texts" It
sounds like Ant is using a custom config for the screen and that is not
being remembered.

I have no answer, I do not run my screens at non-standard resolutions.
