Dell Display Manager (DDM) is an application that enables you to configure the
supported Dell monitor settings such as brightness, contrast, and preset modes.
After its installation, Dell Display Manager is accessible from the notification tray.
Information about monitors connected to the computer is available when the mouse
is pointed over the notification tray icon.

that DDC/CI is enabled in the menu as shown in the following image.

Assigning preset modes to applications
The Auto Mode tab enables 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 Application list, drag the application from the desktop, Windows
Start Menu, or elsewhere, and drop it onto the current list.
NOTE: Preset Mode assignments for batch les, scripts, loaders,
and non-executable les such as zip archives or packed les, 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.

10 | Organizing windows with Easy Arrange
Organizing windows with Easy Arrange
On supported Dell monitors, the Easy Arrange tab enables you to easily arrange the
open windows in one of the predefined layouts by dragging them in the 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.
To get started with Easy Arrange, choose a target monitor and select one of
the predefined layouts. The regions for that layout are displayed momentarily on
the monitor. Next, drag an open window across the monitor. While the window is
being dragged, the current window layout is displayed and an active region gets
highlighted as the window passes over it. At any time, drop the window into the
active region to place the window in that region.
To create a custom window layout, size and position the windows on the desktop,
and then click Save in Easy Arrange. The size and position of the windows is saved
as a custom layout and the custom layout icon is created.
NOTE: This option does not save or remember the applications that are
open. Only the size and position of the windows is saved.
