Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When connected multiple monitors of the same model it's hard to determine which one are you controlling

Describe the solution you'd like
Suffix the display name with a number, not sure if mac OS provides the number, but it's displayed in Display preferences

Describe alternatives you've considered
Just any number would also do the job

You should be able to change the name in advanced preferences by double clicking the "display name" field iirc.

While @JoniVR is right, this function is not that difficult to implement so we can still do this anyway.
