Overview

Dell Display Manager is a Microsoft Windows application used to manage a monitor

or a group of monitors. It enables manual adjustment of the displayed image,

assignment of automatic settings, energy management, window organization, image

rotation, and other features on selected Dell monitors. After installation, Dell Display

Manager runs each time the system starts and places its icon in the notication

tray. Information about monitors connected to the system is available when

hovering over the notication tray icon.

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

your monitor. Ensure that DDC/CI is enabled in the menu as below.

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.

Assigning Preset Modes to Applications │ 7

E1920H/E2020H/E2220H/E2420H/E2420HS/E2720H/E2720HS

NOTE: Preset Mode assignments for batch les scripts, loaders, and non-

executable les such as zip archives or packed les, are not supported.

Assigning Preset Modes to Applications

The Auto Mode tab allows you to associate a specic Preset Mode with a specic

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-congured 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.

You can also congure 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 dierent preset mode to it.

8 │ Organizing Windows with Easy Arrange

Organizing Windows with Easy Arrange

Easy Arrange helps you to eectively organize your application windows on the

desktop. You rst choose a pre-dened layout pattern which suits your work, then

you just need to drag the application windows into the dened zones. Press “>”

or use Page Up/Page Down key to nd more layouts. To create a custom layout,

arrange the open windows and then click Save.

For Windows 10, you can apply dierent window layouts for each of the virtual

desktops.

If you often use Windows snap feature, select the “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.

monitors” to enable this feature. You need to align your monitors properly to use it

eectively.

Managing Multiple Video Inputs

The Input Manager tab provides convenient ways for you to manage multiple

video inputs connected to your Dell monitor. It makes it easy to switch

between inputs while you work with multiple computers.

All video input ports available to your monitor are listed. You can give each input a

name as you like. Save your changes after editing.

You can dene a shortcut key to quickly switch to your favorite input and another

shortcut key to quickly switch between two inputs if you often work between them.
