Throughout the Internet, you can search for many ways to install and download drivers. However, not everyone is safe enough to be trusted. This post from MiniTool introduces some secure methods for you to install and update Dell Monitor Driver.
How to Install Dell Monitor Driver
In previous versions of Windows, in addition to the graphics card driver, the selected Dell monitor also has a monitor-specific driver. In most cases, the low-resolution problem is the result of a problem with the graphics card driver, not the display driver.
If Dell does not list the graphics card driver for Windows 10 for your system, the graphics card vendor (NVidia, Intel, AMD, etc.) has not provided a driver for Windows 10, or Dell has determined that it is not compatible with the system/graphics card that is not selected.
You can follow the steps below to install Install Dell Monitor Driver.
Step 1: Click the Start button, then click Control Panel.
Step 2: Click Adjust screen resolution under Appearance and Personalization Settings.
Step 3: The display model name is listed under Display.
Unlike the graphics card driver, a specific driver is usually required to obtain full functionality. In most cases, a dedicated display driver is not required.
For Dell Plug and Play monitors, there is no need for a dedicated Windows 10 driver for the monitor connected to the system. The Windows 10 operating system will automatically read the display’s extended display identification data (EDID).
If your monitor calibration software or other software requires a specific monitor INF file, you can install the monitor Windows 8/8.1 driver into Windows 10.
