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.

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.

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.

8 Dell Display Manager User's Guide

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 ineective.

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.
