Dell Display Manager User's Guide

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 select Dell monitors. Once 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.

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 monitors are connected to the
computer, a specific target monitor can be selected using the menu. The Quick
Settings dialog box allows you to easily adjust the brightness, contrast, resolution,
window layout, and so on. It also allows you to enable automatic switching between
preset modes or to select a preset mode manually.

The Quick Settings dialog box also provides access to Dell Display Manager's
advanced user interface that is used to adjust basic functions, configure auto mode
and access other features.

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.
