+### Brief description of components
+
+ - `MetaLogicalMonitor` is one monitor or more monitor occupying the same region of the compositor space. 
E.g. when mirroring two monitors, both belong to the same logical monitor.
+ - `MetaMonitor` is a single physical monitor, but it can sometimes consist of more than one separate panel 
(for instance, 5K tiled monitors which literally require 2 cables due to lack of bandwidth)
+ - `MetaOuptut` is a connector e.g. a DisplayPort connector or HDMI connector.
+ - `MetaCrtc` represents a component on the display hardware that channels video memory to connectors.
