Monitors are a special case. Sometimes the computer is rebooted with the monitor "off."  Which means it can't be detected. Which means it hasn't changed. If If after I reboot the computer. Then turn "on" the monitor it would be good if my display was working the way I expect it work don't you think?. Even if electrical cable or DVI cable or VGA cable or RCA cable or what ever cable gets pulled out by my cat or my foot or by the kvm not focused on the computer at the time or whatever reason.
