Setting basic display functions  
Assigning preset modes to applications  
The Auto Mode tab enables 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 for batch files, scripts, loaders,  
and non-executable files such as zip archives or packed files, are not  
supported.  
You can also configure the Game preset mode to be used whenever a Direct3D  
application runs in full-screen mode. To prevent an application from using mode,  
assign a different preset mode to it.

Organizing Windows with Easy Arrange  
On supported Dell monitors, the Easy Arrange tab enables you to easily arrange the  
open windows in one of the predefined layouts by dragging them in the zones. Press  
“>” or use Page Up/Page Down key to find more layouts. To create a custom layout,  
arrange the open windows and then click Save.  
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.  
Dell S2419HGF  
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.

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.  
Dell S2419HGF  
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.

Managing Multiple Video Inputs  
Restoring Application Positions  
DDM can help you restore application windows into their positions when you  
reconnect your computer to the monitor(s). You can quickly access this feature by  
right-clicking on DDM icon in the notification tray.  
If you choose “Auto-restore window layout, your application windows’ positions  
are tracked and remembered by DDM. DDM automatically puts the application  
windows into their original positions when you reconnect your PC to your  
monitor(s).  
If you want to go back to a favorite layout after you have moved the application  
windows around, you can first “Save current window layout” and later “Restore  
saved window layout.

You may use monitors with different models or resolutions in your daily routine,  
and you may apply different window layouts on them. DDM is able to know the  
monitor you have reconnected and restore application positions accordingly. In case  
you need to replace a monitor in a monitor matrix configuration, you can save the  
window layout before replacement and restore the layout after a new monitor is  
installed.  
NOTE: You should keep your applications running in order to benefit  
from this feature. DDM does not launch applications.

monitors from other manufacturers, DDM doesn’t support them.  
If DDM is unable to detect and/or communicate with a supported Dell monitor,  
please take below actions to troubleshoot:  
Make sure the video cable is properly connected to your monitor andyour PC, especially  
the connectors should be firmly inserted intoposition.  
1.  
Check the monitor OSD to ensure DDC/CI is enabled.
