I have five monitors. When it works, it's great. The other 5% of the time it's a giant pain in the butt. I don't know why this part of macOS is so incredibly buggy. It often forgets the arrangement, the HDR setting, and the refresh rate. I wrote a little program to detect when it breaks and set it back, but they don't have APIs for refresh rate and HDR so it's only a partial fix. I've half a mind to take a job there, fix it, and quit.

I'm running 3 external monitors off of a laptop and for me macOS is much more consistent about putting the windows in the right place, I don't even have to plug them in the same order. When I try to do the same on my desktop with nvidia surround, all of the monitors need to be plugged in on boot in order for it to "remember" the configuration.

Try using displayplacer. It supports hz and I added color_depth to it a while back. I don't remember HDR being in the APIs used either but that may address it. https://github.com/jakehilborn/displayplacer https://github.com/jakehilborn/displayplacer
