    On my EIZO monitor with DP connected I have no issues seeing all of the boot process (Gentoo and Debian 13). I just have to ensure I power up the monitor 1 second before starting the computer. This monitor has great colors for it’s age, only 60Hz, though.

    At work I noticed the newer Dell monitors seem to boot for 2 to 5 seconds, but the BIOS on both work machines is slow enough to don’t bother counting down 5 seconds until I boot them.

    Generally, I find it a bit annoying and great that everything “monitors” is so dynamically detected. This is why I always power on the monitors first and I can live/work in peace.
