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, window

organization, 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.

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.

Applying Energy Conservation Features On supported Dell models an Options tab will be available to provide PowerNap 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.
