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 monitors. Once installed, Dell display manager runs each time the computer starts and its icon is placed in the notification tray.
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. You can manually select a preset mode or enable automatic selection of a preset mode depending on the active application.
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. A message momentarily appears on the screen showing the selected preset mode. 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 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 the next.
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 very 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. Please save your changes after editing.
Applying Energy Conservation Features On supported Dell models, an Options tab is 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.
