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 when 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.

Using the Quick Settings Dialog | 5

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.

Setting Basic Display Functions | 7

Setting Basic Display Functions

You can select Manual Mode that enables you to manually select a preset mode or

select Auto Mode that applies a preset mode based on the active application. An on-

screen message displays the current preset mode whenever it changes. The selected

display’s Brightness and Contrast can also be directly adjusted from the Basic tab.

NOTE: When multiple Dell monitors are connected, select “Enable display

matrix control” to apply brightness, contrast and color presets controls to

all monitors.

8| Assigning Preset Modes to Applications

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 les, scripts, loaders, and non-

executable les such as zip archives or packed les, 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 | 9

Organizing Windows with Easy Arrange

Easy Arrange helps you to effectively organize your application windows on the

desktop. You first choose a pre-defined layout pattern which suits your work, then

you just need to drag the application windows into the defined 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.

For Windows 10, you can apply different window layouts for each of the virtual

desktops.

If you often use Windows snap feature, you can select “Hold down the SHIFT key to

enable zone positioning”. This gives Windows snap priority over Easy Arrange. You

will then need to press the Shift key to use Easy Arrange positioning.

10 | Organizing Windows with Easy Arrange

If you are using multiple monitors in an array or matrix, Easy Arrange layout can be

applied across to all the monitors as one desktop. Select “Span multiple monitors” to

enable this feature. You need to align your monitors properly to make it effective.
