Abstract
Techniques for managing a display device coupled to a media processing (MP) device are described. An MP logic/module implemented by the MP device can retrieve data from a display device and identify information characterizing the display device in a database based on the retrieved data. The MP logic/module can compare the retrieved data with the identified information and determine, based on the comparison, that software installed on the display device is obsolete, or that one or more settings of the display device has a first configuration. The MP logic/module can also generate a notification based on the determination, which can be displayed on the display device. The MP logic/module can trigger performance of an action based on the determination. Actions can include downloading an updated software to memory, installing the updated software, or changing the one or more settings from the first configuration to a second, more optimal configuration.
