A video display unit of a data processing system having a large number of computers is remotely configurable. To reduce installation and maintenance time and number of skilled personnel, devices of the system that typically have been controlled locally are controlled remotely. A control memory stores plural image parameter data to control image presentation on a display. The memory is externally accessible by a bi-directional data bus for writing image parameter data to and reading image parameter data from the control memory. All monitors are configured and controlled remotely via a suitable server or terminal. The visual display unit is controlled remotely via a systems administrator's server or PC, which removes the need for the technical personnel to attend a client's site. All PCs within a PC park are initialized simultaneously and remotely.
