Overview

Dell Display Manager is a Microsoft 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 system starts and places its icon in the notification tray. Information about

monitors connected to the system is 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 monitors are connected to the computer, a

specific target monitor can be selected using the menu. The Quick Settings dialog box

allows you to easily adjust the brightness, contrast, resolution, window layout, and so on.

It also allows you to enable automatic switching between preset modes or to select a

preset mode manually.

The Quick Settings dialog box also provides access to Dell Display Manager's advanced

user interface that is used to adjust basic functions, configure auto mode and access

other features.
