Monitor configuration for media device
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- determining, at a computing device, whether a display device is initialized, wherein the display device has an associated display configuration;
responsive to determining that the display device is initialized, determining whether the display device was previously configured, wherein when the display device has not been previously configured, analyzing the associated display configuration to determine whether the associated display configuration corresponds to a safe mode;
executing a display configuration process when the associated display configuration does not correspond to a safe mode, the display configuration process comprising;
displaying a graphical interface during the display configuration process, wherein the graphical interface includes a list of one of more optional modes, wherein each optional mode is selectable, wherein each optional mode has an associated test image and an associated display timer, and wherein each associated display timer includes a predetermined amount of time;
sequentially cycling through the list of one or more optional modes during the display configuration process until an optional mode is identified as compatible with the display device, wherein sequentially cycling includes counting down the predetermined amount of time for each optional mode, and generating an output signal including the associated test image for each optional mode; and
terminating the display configuration process when an optional mode is identified as compatible with the display device;
wherein when the associated display configuration corresponds to a safe mode, determining whether the safe mode is a supported mode;
when the safe mode is a supported mode, configuring the output signal, andwhen the safe mode is not a supported mode, analyzing one or more unsafe modes to determine whether the one or more unsafe modes are supported modes and configuring the output signal when an unsafe mode is a supported mode.

Abstract
A display mode can be selected by identifying a plurality of display modes supported by a media client, wherein the plurality of display modes comprise safe display modes; generating a user interface including a test image and a plurality of commands in accordance with a selected display mode of the plurality of display modes, wherein the user interface is output to a display device; receiving user input selecting one of the plurality of commands; and configuring an operating display mode of the media client in accordance with the received user input. Configuring an operating display mode further can comprise determining that the received user input confirms the selected display mode and configuring the media client to set the selected display mode as the operating display mode. Further, generating a user interface can comprise presenting a display timer indicating a time remaining until a display mode change.
