will tell Hyprland to make the monitor on `DP-1` a `1920x1080` display, at 144Hz,
`0x0` off from the top left corner, with a scale of 1 (unscaled).

Monitors are positioned on a virtual "layout". The `offset` is the position of
said display in the layout. (calculated from the top-left corner)
For example:
```ini
monitor=DP-1, 1920x1080, 0x0, 1
monitor=DP-2, 1920x1080, 1920x0, 1
```
will tell hyprland to make DP-1 on the _left_ of DP-2, while
```ini
monitor=DP-1, 1920x1080, 1920x0, 1
monitor=DP-2, 1920x1080, 0x0, 1
```
will tell hyprland to make DP-1 on the _right_.

you want your 4K monitor with scale 2 to the left of your 1080p one, you'd use

about "fixing" monitors being mirrored.
Leaving the name empty will define a fallback rule to use when no other rules
match.
