I have a Dell U24H14 monitor. Connected with a Mini DP to DP port cable.
In preferences I've set the monitors to extends. Not duplicate. This is al working just fine.

BUT:

When I boot my MacBook, with the monitor connected, half way during the boot process, when the monitor is being recognized by OS X, it goes to the standard setting, which is duplicate the screens.


I've tried with other monitors, but they all are on extend at the login screen after boot.


I think that somehow the settings(extend) of the monitor are not loaded before I login into my user account. Or the settings only apply to my user account and not to the root user.


I've tried:
- Reset NVRAM
- Reset SMC
- Factory reset Dell Screen

I have to try with HDMI, maby that works, but I do NOT want to use HDMI.

How can I fix this? I really love the screen but it is getting annoying when I boot.

Any help is very appreciated.

MacBook Pro 13", OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
