Tool for launching apps when monitor powers on?
could use the postswitch hook provided by autorandr, though this would require letting autorandr manage your display layout as well: https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr

Multiple screens with different resolutions?
autorandr worked great for me for hot plugging when I would frequently use my laptop with two external monitors.

Autorandr does run in the background as it is a daemon. For systemd integration see https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr/blob/master/contrib/systemd/autorandr.service
