I've looked for options to change without much luck.  The TV has "PC"
assigned to a VGA port - I will see if there is a way to move the
name.

I did not have this zooming issue with the old NUC, so I think it is
unlikely to be related.  But never say never....

There is a delay when switching before the display comes up - 3-5
seconds maybe?  But that is every time I switch.  And in my case the
monitor isn't in standby - the delay is just the switch-over (I assume
the delay is caused by HDMI negotiations, X and/or video driver
figuring out the monitor that just got connected, etc.).

I was hoping to force the resolution in the X config and the KDE
config, so that at least it couldn't confuse itself anymore.  Maybe I
succeeded in doing so, but have been too focused on the "zoom" issue
to realize?
