SE2219H/SE2219HX
NOTE: Dell Display Manager uses DDC/CI channel to communicate
with your monitor. Ensure that DDC/CI is enabled in the menu as
below.
Overview
Dell Display Manager is a Microsoft Windows application used to manage a monitor
or a group of monitors. It enables manual adjustment of the displayed image,
assignment of automatic settings, energy management, window organization,
image rotation, and other features on selected Dell monitors. After installation, 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.

|
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.
Click the Dell Display Manager’s notification tray icon to open the Quick
Settings dialog box. When more than one supported Dell model is connected
to the computer, a specific target monitor can be selected using the menu. The
Quick Settings dialog box enables convenient adjustment of the monitor’s
brightness and contrast levels. You can select Manual Mode or Auto Mode,
and the screen resolution can be changed.

Assigning Preset Modes to Applications | 7
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 another.
Dell Display Manager is pre-congured 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 for batch files scripts, loaders, and
non-executable files such as zip archives or packed files, are not
supported.

You can also configure the Game preset mode to be used whenever a Direct3D
application runs in full-screen mode. To prevent an application from using mode,
assign a different preset mode to it.

8 | Organizing Windows with Easy Arrange
Organizing Windows with Easy Arrange
SE2219H/SE2219HX
For Windows 10, you can apply different window layouts for each of the virtual
desktops.
If you often use Windows snap feature, select the “Hold down the SHIFT key
to enable zone positioning”. This gives Windows snap priority over Easy
Arrange. You will then need to press the Shift key to use Easy Arrange
positioning.
Easy Arrange helps you to effectively organize your application windows on the
desktop. You first choose a pre-defined layout pattern which suits your work,
then you just need to drag the application windows into the defined zones.
Press “>” or use Page Up/Page Down key to find more layouts. To create a
custom layout, arrange the open windows and then click Save.

can be applied across to all the monitors as one desktop. Select “Span
multiple monitors” to enable this feature. You need to align your monitors
properly to use it effectively.

10 | Managing Multiple Video Inputs
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 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. Save your changes after editing.
You can a shortcut key to quickly switch to your favorite input and another
shortcut key to quickly switch between two inputs if you often work between them.

NOTE: DDM communicates with your monitor even when the monitor
is displaying video from another computer. You can install DDM on
the computer you frequently use and control input switching from it.
You may also install DDM on other computers connected to the
monitor.

12 | Restoring Application Positions
Restoring Application Positions
DDM can help you restore application windows into their positions when you
reconnect your computer to the monitor(s). You can quickly access this
feature by right-clicking on DDM icon in the notication tray.
If you choose “Auto-restore window layout”, your application windows'
positions are tracked and remembered by DDM. DDM automatically puts the
application windows into their original positions when you reconnect your PC to
your monitor(s).
If you want to go back to a favorite layout after you have moved the
application windows around, you can first “Save current window layout”
and later “Restore saved window layout”.

Restoring Application Positions | 13
You may use monitors with different models or resolutions in your daily routine,
and you may apply different window layouts on them. DDM is able to know the
monitor you have reconnected and restore application positions accordingly.
In case you need to replace a monitor in a monitor matrix configuration, you can
save the window layout before replacement and restore the layout after a new
monitor is installed.
NOTE: You should keep your applications running in order to
benefit from this feature. DDM does not launch applications.

Applying Energy Conservation Features
On supported Dell models, an Options tab is available that provides
PowerNap energy conservation options. You can choose to set the monitor's
brightness to the minimum level, or to put the monitor to sleep when the
screensaver is activated.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting | 15
Please note that DDM only works with Dell branded monitors. If you are using
monitors from other manufacturers, DDM does not support them.
If DDM is unable to detect and/or communicate with a supported Dell monitor,
please take below actions to troubleshoot:
1. Make sure the video cable is properly connected between your monitor and
your computer. Ensure the connectors are firmly inserted into position.
2. Check the monitor OSD to ensure DDC/CI is enabled.
3. Make sure you have the right graphics card driver from the vendor (Intel,
AMD, NVIDIA, etc.). Graphics driver is often the cause of DDM failure.
4. Remove any docking stations, cable extenders, and converters between the
monitor and the graphics port. Some low-cost extenders, hubs or converters
may not support DDC/CI properly and can fail DDM. Update the driver of such
device if the latest version is available.
5. Restart your computer.
If DDM does not work with your monitor, DDM will show below icon in
your notification tray.
Click on the icon, DDM shows a more detailed error message.

16 | Troubleshooting
DDM may not work with below monitors:
•Dell monitor models that shipped earlier than 2013 and D-series of Dell
monitors. For more information see www.dell.com/support/monitors.
•Gaming monitors using Nvidia-based G-sync technology
•Virtual and wireless displays do not support DDC/CI
•Some early models of DP 1.2 monitors, it may be necessary to disable
MST/DP 1.2 using the monitor OSD
If your computer is connected to the Internet, you will be prompted to upgrade to
a new version of DDM when it is available. It is recommended to download and
install the latest DDM application.
You may also check for new version by right clicking on DDM icon while
pressing and holding 'shift' key.
