Hello! Just thought Id announce Im using extended desktop for the first time in a few years with an external 4k monitor on my MBP 16" and man the experience of doing so has gotten so much better. Like, some executive didnt like how it was working - better. I disconnect the screen and the windows that were on it resize nicely on my built in display. And then when I plug it back in they find their right size and location again nicely. Its not like the display goes dark and I know not what carnage will appear when i reopen it. Ive noticed other little tweaks that I cant quite recall off hand but over all the situation seems much improved.

Anybody else have observations?

Count me in.
Even though I'm using a Dell laptop running Windows with a 24" monitor.
