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.
E5515H
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.

6 Dell Display Manager User's Guide
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 User's Guide 7
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 ineective.
8 Dell Display Manager User's Guide
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
made to reposition and resize 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 will be displayed
momentarily on the monitor. Next, drag an open window across the
monitor. While the window is being dragged, the current window layout
will be displayed and an active region will be highlighted as the window
passes over it. At any time, drop the window into the active region and it
will automatically resize and reposition to fill that region.
To create a custom window layout, first size and position up to 10
windows on the desktop and then click the Save link in Easy Arrange.
The size and position of thewindows is saved as a custom layout and the
custom layout icon is created.
NOTE: The application that owns each window is not saved in the
custom layout. Only the size and position of the windows is saved.
Dell Display Manager User's Guide 9
To use the currently saved custom layout, select the custom layout icon.
To save a new custom layout, first postion and size up to 10 windows on
the desktop andthen click the Save link in Easy Arrange. To delete the
currently saved custom layout, close all windows on the desktop and then
click the Save link in Easy Arrange.
10 Dell Display Manager User's Guide
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.
