    I have three identical monitors and (under the time pressure of trying to research while standing in line on launch day), I accidentally bought the wrong version of my graphics card: one with 2x DisplayPort/2x HDMI instead of 3x DisplayPort/1x HDMI. I realized my mistake almost immediately, but because of shortages I of course couldn’t exchange the card for a different version, and I’ve been continually mildly annoyed ever since because the monitor hooked up via HDMI doesn’t behave well compared to the other two. It takes longer to wake up, the picture jiggles up and down occasionally when I play fullscreen video on it, and I’ve even noticed the picture getting tinted sometimes, as if one of the color channels were failing.

    I hope this has a side effect of fixing some of that.
