Dell Display Manager (DDM) helps people with compatible Dell monitors manage their workspace from Windows. It is useful when several applications share one screen or when a desk has multiple displays. You can place windows in saved arrangements, move between connected video sources, and change display settings without using the monitor's physical controls. Some monitor models do not support the software.

Save reusable window layouts so multiple apps return to familiar positions across your Dell displays.

Choose a window layout to position and size open apps, then reuse it later; the program can also restore their previous placement. Brightness and contrast can be adjusted manually or linked to individual applications through presets. Input controls let you label sources and assign shortcuts for switching between them. For larger setups, it can manage multiple monitors and create a report of display information.

Features:

  • Arrange app windows using reusable layout templates
  • Restore previous application window positions
  • Assign display presets to individual applications
  • Adjust brightness and contrast from Windows
  • Switch named video inputs with keyboard shortcuts
  • Generate a report of monitor asset details
