I have 2 1080p monitors with shoddy firmware and the name given to them by
Plasma, as can be seen from the screenshot, is 'Invalid Vendor Codename - RTK
[a bunch of numbers] HDMI'. It's not particularly user friendly and while the
ideal would be for it to actually know the white label maker and give it the
proper name I don't think that's possible, so next best thing - I would like to
be able to change the name myself to something a) more aesthetically pleasing;
b) more distinguishable than a single character difference.
