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, 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 Managers 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 monitors 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
Managers 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. An onscreen message momentarily
displays the current Preset Mode whenever it changes.
The selected monitors 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.
Dell Display Manager is pre-configured 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.
NOTE: Preset Mode assignments targeting batch files, scripts, and
loaders, as well as non-executable files such as zip archives or packed
files, are not supported and will be ineffective.
Applying Energy-Conservation Features

On supported Dell models, the PowerNap tab will be available to provide
energy conservation options. When the screensaver activates, the
monitors Brightness can automatically be set to minimum level or the
monitor can be put to sleep in order to save additional power.

LCD Monitor Quality & Pixel Policy

During the LCD Monitor manufacturing process, it is not uncommon for
one or more pixels to become fixed in an unchanging state. The visible
result is a fixed pixel that appears as an extremely tiny dark or bright
discolored spot. When the pixel remains permanently lit, it is known as a
bright dot. When the pixel remains black, it is known as a dark dot.
In almost every case, these fixed pixels are hard to see and do not
detract from display quality or usability. A display with 1 to 5 fixed pixels
is considered normal and within competitive standards. For more

Maintenance Guidelines
Caring for Your Monitor
CAUTION: Read and follow the safety instructions before cleaning
the monitor.
CAUTION: Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor power
cable from the electrical outlet.
For best practices, follow the instructions in the list below while
unpacking, cleaning, or handling your monitor:
To clean your antistatic screen, slightly dampen a soft, clean cloth

with water. If possible, use a special screen-cleaning tissue or solution
suitable for the antistatic coating. Do not use benzene, thinner,
ammonia, abrasive cleaners, or compressed air.
Use a slightly dampened, warm cloth to clean the plastics. Avoid using
detergent of any kind as some detergents leave a milky film on the
plastics.
If you notice a white powder when you unpack your monitor, wipe it
off with a cloth. This white powder occurs during the shipping of the
monitor.
Handle your monitor with care as a darker-colored monitor may
scratch and show white scuff marks more than a lighter-colored
monitor.
To help maintain the best image quality on your monitor, use a
dynamically changing screen saver and power off your monitor when
not in use.

Setting Up the Monitor

Attaching the Stand
NOTE: The stand base is detached when the monitor is shipped from
the factory.
1. Assemble the stand riser to stand base.
a. Place the monitor stand base on a stable table top.

b. Slide the monitor stand body in the correct direction down onto the
stand base until it clicks into place.
2. Attach the stand assembly to the monitor:
a. Place the monitor on a soft cloth or cushion near the edge of desk.
b. Align the stand assembly bracket to the monitor groove.
c. Insert the bracket towards monitor until it locks in place.
24
Connecting Your Monitor

WARNING: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section,
follow the Safety Instructions.
To connect your monitor to the computer:
1. Turn off your computer and disconnect the power cable.
2. Connect either the white (digital DVI-D) or the blue (analog VGA)
display connector cable to the corresponding video port on the back
of your computer. Do not use both cables at the same time. Use both
the cables only when they are connected to two different computers
with appropriate video systems.
Connecting the blue VGA Cable
Connecting the white DVI cable
Note: The graphics are used for the purpose of illustration only.
Appearance on the computer may vary.
25
Organizing Your Cables
After attaching all necessary cables to your monitor and computer, (See
Connecting Your Monitor for cable attachment), organize all cables as shown
above.
Removing the Monitor Stand
After placing the monitor panel on a soft cloth or cushion, complete the
following steps to remove the base:
1. Use a long screwdriver to push the release latch located in a hole just above
the stand.
2. Once the latch is released, remove the base away from the monitor.

Troubleshooting
WARNING: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section,

follow the Safety Instruction
Self-Test
Your monitor provides a self-test feature that allows you to check
whether your monitor is functioning properly. If your monitor and
computer are properly connected but the monitor screen remains dark,
run the monitor self-test by performing the following steps:
1. Turn off both your computer and the monitor.
2. Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer. To ensure
proper Self-Test operation, remove both Digital (white connector) and
the Analog (blue connector) cables from the back of computer.
3. Turn on the monitor.
The floating dialog box should appear on-screen (against a black
background) if the monitor cannot sense a video signal and is working
correctly. While in self-test mode, the power LED remains white. Also,
depending upon the selected input, one of the dialogs shown below
will continuously scroll through the screen.
4. This box also appears during normal system operation, if the video
cable becomes disconnected or damaged. The monitor will enter
Power Save Mode after 5 minutes if left at this state.
5. Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on
both your computer and the monitor.
If your monitor screen remains blank after you use the previous
procedure, check your video controller and computer, because your
monitor is functioning properly.
NOTE: Self-test feature check is not available for S-Video, Composite,
and Component video modes.

1 may be set up to be to the left of monitor 2 or vice versa. This
depends on the physical position of the LCD monitor in relation to the
laptop. The horizontal line displayed on both monitors can be based on
the laptop or external monitor. These are all adjustable options, and all
a user need do is drag the monitor of the main screen to the extended
monitor.

Show desktop only on: Display the status of a particular monitor.

This option is typically chosen when the laptop is used as a PC so the
user can enjoy a large external monitor. Most current laptops support
mainstream resolutions. As shown in the figure above, the resolution
of the laptop monitor is only 1280 x 800, but after connecting a 27
external LCD monitor, users can immediately improve their visual
enjoyment to 1920 x 1080 Full HD quality.
