My DDM (Dell Display Manager) Testing

Hardware
U3415W monitor
Alienware Area 51-R2
Latitude E7240

U3415W OSD (on screen display) settings
Others- DDC/CI Enabled
Display- DP 1.2 Enabled

* Alienware Area 51-R2
* GeForce GTX Titan X driver 368.22
* Windows 10
* Installed the U3415W driver inf. U3415W appears in the Device Manager- Monitor- Dell U3415W
(mini DisplayPort)
* GeForce GTX Titan X DP out --> DP to mDP cable --> U3415W mDP in

* Latitude E7240
* Intel HD driver 10.18.14.4170
* Windows 7
* Installed the U3415W driver inf. U3415W appears in the Device Manager- Monitor- Dell U3415W
(HDMI2)
* Intel HD HDMI out --> HDMI to HDMI cable --> U3415W HDMI in (not MHL in)

I disregarded the DDM on the U3415W CD and also from the Dell File Library. I went here to get
the latest version www.delldisplaymanager.com/ddmsetup.exe

* During the installation, I chose =
- Create a desktop icon
- Add uninstall icon to Start Menu
- Add to Desktop Context Menu
- Run this program as an administrator (disables auto-startup)
* I chose yes to the UAC message
* It installed version 1.30.1800, 2/6/16
* On both systems, the DDM icon appeared on the taskbar at the end of the installation

* I held shift and right clicked the icon, then clicked, "Check for new version". It stated I
was on the latest
* I right clicked the icon and opened the DDM
* Under Manual Mode, I chose the Game setting for the Alienware Area 51-R2 and Multimedia for
the Latitude E7240

For most people the "Run this program as an administrator (disables auto-startup)" is neither necessary nor desirable. It is there mainly for the benefit of those who are running pre-Vista apps that require admin privileges.
