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. 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.
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.
In addition an option can be enabled that will cause the “Game” Preset Mode
to be used any time a Direct3D application is run fullscreen. To override this
behavior, if enabled, with individual game titles, add them to the assignment
list with a different Preset Mode. Applications present in the assignment list
take priority over the general Direct3D setting.
