will tell hyprland to make DP-1 on the _right_.
The `position` may contain _negative_ values, so the above example could also be
written as
```ini
monitor=DP-1, 1920x1080, 0x0, 1
monitor=DP-2, 1920x1080, -1920x0, 1
```
{{< hint type=tip >}}
The position is calculated with the scaled (and transformed) resolution, meaning if
you want your 4K monitor with scale 2 to the left of your 1080p one, you'd use
the position `1920x0` for the second screen. (3840 / 2)
If the monitor is also rotated 90 degrees (vertical) you'd use `1080x0`.

For more specific rules, you can also use the output's description

If the output of `hyprctl monitors` looks like the following:
```

remember to remove the (portname)!
then the `description` value up to the portname `(eDP-1)` can be used
to specify the monitor:
```
monitor=desc:Chimei Innolux Corporation 0x150C,preferred,auto,1.5
```
Remember to remove the `(portname)`!
