kscreen-console bug when EDID is not read correctly
SUMMARY
When plugging in my monitor, KScreen sometimes reads EDID data before the
display is fully connected. This leads to it sometimes reading the display as
"unknown HDMI-A-1 unknown" or "BOE". The differing EDID data often results in
loading the wrong config.
This GNOME thing may be of use:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings > Hardware > Display Configuration
2. Repeatedly plug and unplug the external monitor.
OBSERVED RESULT
The external monitor is sometimes seen as "unknown HDMI-A-1 unknown" or "BOE".
EXPECTED RESULT
When the external monitor is plugged in, it should always display as "Samsung
Electric Company LF24T35".
