Overview  
Dell Display Manager is a Microsoft 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, window organization, image rotation, and  
other features on selected Dell monitors. After installed, Dell Display Manager runs each  
time the system starts and places its icon in the notification tray. Information about  
monitors connected to the system is available when hovering over the notification-tray  
icon.

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 automatically switches 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 another.  
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.

DDM can help you restore application windows into their positions when you reconnect  
your computer to the monitor(s). You can quickly access to this feature by right-  
clicking on DDM icon in the notification tray.

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 display is  
installed.

this feature. DDM doesn’t lanuch applications.

Troubleshooting  
If DDM does not work with your monitor, DDM will show the following icon in your  
notification tray.  
Click on the icon, DDM shows a more detailed error message.  
Please note that DDM only works with Dell-branded monitors. If you are using 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 the following actions to troubleshoot:  
1. Make sure the video cable is properly connected to your monitor and your  
computer. especially the connectors should be firmly inserted into position.  
2. Check the monitor OSD to ensure DDC/CI is enabled.  
3. Make sure you have the correct and latest graphics driver from the graphics  
vendor (Intel, AMD, NVidia, etc.). Graphics driver is often the cause of DDM  
failure.  
4. Remove any docking stations or cable extenders or converters between the  
monitor and the graphics port. Some low-cost extenders, hubs or converters  
may not support DDC/CI properly and can fail DDM. Update the driver of such  
device if the latest version is available.  
5. Restart your computer.

Troubleshooting  
DDM may not work with the following monitors:  
• Dell monitor models earlier than year 2013 and D-series of Dell monitors. For  
more information see https://www.dell.com/support/monitors  
• Gaming monitors using Nvidia-based G-sync technology  
• Virtual and wireless monitors do not support DDC/CI  
• Some early models of DP 1.2 monitors, it may be necessary to disable MST/DP  
1.2 using the display OSD  
If your PC is connected to the Internet, you will be prompted to upgrade to a newer  
version of DDM when it is available. It is recommended to download and install the  
latest DDM application.  
You may also check for new version by right clicking on DDM icon.
