Overview  
Dell Display Manager is a Windows application used to manage a monitor  
or a group of monitors. It allows manual adjustment of the displayed image,  
assignment of automatic settings, energy management, image rotation and other  
features on select Dell models. Once installed, Dell Display Manager will run each  
time the system starts and will place its icon in the notification tray. Information  
about monitors connected to the system is always available when hovering over  
the notification tray icon.  
Using the quick settings dialog  
Clicking Dell Display Manager’s notification tray icon opens the Quick Settings  
dialog box. When more than one supported Dell model is connected to the  
system, a specific target monitor can be selected using the menu provided.  
The Quick Settings dialog box allows convenient adjustment of the monitor’s  
Brightness and Contrast levels, Preset Modes can be manually selected or set to  
Auto Mode, and the screen resolution can be changed.

Overview  
The Quick Settings dialog box also provides access to Dell Display Manager’s  
advanced user interface which is used to adjust Basic functions, configure Auto  
Mode and access other features.  
Setting basic display functions  
A Preset Mode for the selected monitor can be manually applied using the menu  
on the Basic tab. Alternatively, Auto Mode can be enabled. Auto Mode causes  
your preferred Preset Mode to be applied automatically when specific applications  
are active. An onscreen message momentarily displays the current Preset Mode  
whenever it changes.  
The selected monitor’s Brightness and Contrast can also be directly adjusted from  
the Basic tab.

Assigning preset modes to applications  
The Auto Mode tab allows you to associate a specific Preset Mode with a specific  
application, and apply it automatically. When Auto Mode is enabled, Dell Display  
Manager will automatically switch to the corresponding Preset Mode whenever  
the associated application is activated. The Preset Mode assigned to a particular  
application may be the same on each connected monitor, or it can vary from one  
monitor to the next.  
Dell Display Manager is pre-configured for many popular applications. To add  
a new application to the assignment list, simply drag the application from the  
desktop, Windows Start Menu or elsewhere, and drop it onto the current list.  
NOTE: Preset Mode assignments targeting batch files, scripts, and loaders,  
as well as non-executable files such as zip archives or packed files, are not  
supported and will be ineffective.

Organizing Windows with Easy Arrange  
Some Dell models feature Easy Arrange, which allows the selected monitor’s  
desktop to be organized into various predefined or custom window layouts.  
When Easy Arrange is enabled, windows can easily be repositioned and resized  
automatically to fill specific regions within a window layout.  
To get started with Easy Arrange, choose a target monitor and select one of the  
predefined layouts. The regions for that layout are displayed momentarily on the  
monitor. Next, drag an open window across the monitor. While the window is  
being dragged, the current window layout is displayed and an active region gets  
highlighted as the window passes over it. At any time, drop the window into the  
active region to place the window in that region.  
To create a custom window layout, size and position the windows (maximum 10)  
on the desktop and then click the Save link in Easy Arrange. The size and position  
of the windows is saved as a custom layout and the custom layout icon is created.  
NOTE: This option does not save or remember the applications that are open.  
Only the size and position of the windows is saved.  
To use the custom layout, select the custom layout icon. To delete the currently  
saved custom layout, close all windows on the desktop and then click the Save link  
in Easy Arrange.

Managing Multiple Video Inputs  
The Input Manager tab provides convenient ways for you to manage multiple  
video inputs connected to your Dell monitor. It makes it very easy to switch  
between inputs while you work with multiple computers.  
All video input ports available to your monitor are listed. You can give each input a  
name as you like. Please save your changes after editing.  
You can define a shortcut key to quickly switch to your favorite input and another  
shortcut key to quickly switch between two inputs if you often work between  
them.  
NOTE: DDM communicates with your monitor even when the monitor is  
displaying video from another computer. You can install DDM on the PC you  
frequently use and control input switching from it. You may also install DDM  
on other PCs connected to the monitor.

Applying energy conservation features  
On supported Dell models the PowerNap tab will be available to provide energy  
conservation options. When the screensaver activates, the monitor’s Brightness  
can automatically be set to minimum level or the monitor can be put to sleep in  
order to save additional power.
