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, 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.

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.

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.
