-Outputs are matched by connector name (i.e. `eDP-1`, `HDMI-A-1`) which you can find by running `niri msg outputs`.
+Outputs are matched by connector name (i.e. `eDP-1`, `HDMI-A-1`), or by monitor manufacturer, model, and serial, separated by a single space each.
+You can find all of these by running `niri msg outputs`.

Usually, the built-in monitor in laptops will be called `eDP-1`.
-Matching by output manufacturer and model is planned, but blocked on Smithay adopting libdisplay-info instead of edid-rs.
