Dell Display Manager User’s Guide

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.

NOTE: Dell Display Manager needs to use DDC/CI channel to communicate with

your monitor. Please make sure DDC/CI is enabled in the menu as below.

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.

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.
