Last updated
Display Manager arranges Dell monitors from the desktop. Easy Arrange window layouts, PremierColor presets, KVM input assignments, and firmware state live in local app data per display. Monitors keep running configs onboard.
That makes the app the editor with exports as backup number two. Exact folder names may vary by version. Auto-restore reopens window positions after sleep; enable it per layout. Color presets match design work. Input hotkeys swap fast. Daisy chains need MST order. HDR toggles per input.

Frequently asked questions
Do Easy Arrange layouts transfer PCs?
Yes for layouts and settings on login where accounts exist. Hardware holds the active config regardless. Reinstalls need displays reconnected per machine.
How do I update monitor firmware?
Open Display Manager with USB upstream connected and check for firmware prompts per monitor. Keep it plugged until each finishes. Daisy-chained displays update one at a time.
