Model: Display Control Center

Type: User guide

Lenovo Display Control Center is a powerful tool that allows you to remotely manage and configure your Lenovo monitors. With this software, you can easily adjust display settings, including color temperature, input source, and power mode. You can also update your monitor's firmware to ensure you have the latest features and security patches. The software is compatible with Windows operating systems and can be used to manage multiple monitors simultaneously.

Lenovo Display Control Center WMI Usage

1. Overview

This document describes how the IT managers remotely operate the Lenovo monitors using WMI

scripts. The operations include querying basic information of the monitor, setting color

temperature, selecting input video source, turning on/off the monitor, and updating firmware.

Before use the below WMI classes, please check if the LenovoDisplayControlCenterService service

has been installed and is running in the client system, otherwise, deploy the Lenovo Display Control

Center application or LenovoDisplayControlCenterService service firstly through Windows

Endpoint Management system.

2. WMI Classes

The name space “root\Lenovo\Lenovo_Display” includes a WMI class “DisplayDevice” that

includes properties and methods to access the monitor. Use the following command under

PowerShell to view the properties of the class:

Get-WmiObject -Class DisplayDevice -Namespace "root\Lenovo\Lenovo_Display"

3. Example scripts of the operations

Here are example scripts to demonstrate how to operate the monitors remotely.

3.1 Query basic information of monitors

In the below script, specify computer names in the domain in variable “$pcs”, delimiting them with

a comma “,”.

$pcs='T-PC1','kk'

foreach ($pc in $pcs)

{

echo ("Computer: " + $pc)

$outputs=(Get-WmiObject -Class DisplayDevice -Namespace "root\Lenovo\Lenovo_Display"

-ComputerName $pc)

foreach ($output in $outputs)

{

echo ("ModelName: " + $output.ModelName)

echo ("MonitorIndex: " + $output.MonitorIndex)

echo ("MachineType: " + $output.MachineType)

echo ("SerialNumber: " + $output.SerialNumber)

echo ("FirmwareVersion: " + $output.FirmwareVersion)

echo ("ManufacturerName: " + $output.ManufacturerName)

echo ("MonitorEDID: " + $output.MonitorEDID)

echo ("CurrentPowerMode: " + $output.CurrentPowerMode)

echo ("SupportPowerMode: " + $output.SupportPowerMode)

echo ("CurrentPortUsing: " + $output.CurrentPortUsing)

echo ("InputSourceList: " + $output.InputSourceList)

echo ("CurrentColorMode: " + $output.CurrentColorMode)

echo ("ColorGamutList: " + $output.ColorGamutList)

echo ""

}

echo ""

}

Pause

Running result of the script:

3.2 Set Color Temperature

In the below script, specify Color Temperature name in the variable “$input”, the color

temperature names supported of the monitor can be got from the querying result of example 3.1.

$pcs='T-PC1','kk'

$input='sRGB'

foreach ($pc in $pcs)

{

echo ("Computer: " + $pc)

$outputs=(Get-WmiObject -Class DisplayDevice -Namespace "root\Lenovo\Lenovo_Display"

-ComputerName $pc)

foreach ($output in $outputs)

{

echo ("Set " + $output.ModelName + " Color Gamut " + $input)

$result=($output.SetColorGamut($input))

if ($result.ReturnValue -eq 0)

{

echo ("Result OK")

}

else

{

echo ("Result Error")

}

echo ""

}

Pause

Running result of the script:

The target computer will show a notification that the display attribute has been modified.

3.3 Set video input source

In the below script, specify video input source name in the variable “$input”, the video input source

names supported by the monitor can be got from the querying result of example 3.1.

$pcs='T-PC1','kk'

$input='HDMI2'

foreach ($pc in $pcs)

{

echo ("Computer: " + $pc)

$outputs=(Get-WmiObject -Class DisplayDevice -Namespace "root\Lenovo\Lenovo_Display"

-ComputerName $pc)

foreach ($output in $outputs)

{

echo ("Set " + $output.ModelName + " Input Source " + $input)

$result=($output.SetInputSource($input))

if ($result.ReturnValue -eq 0)

{

echo ("Result OK")

}

else

{

echo ("Result Error")

}

echo ""

}

Pause

Running result of the script:

3.4 Set power mode

In the below script, specify power mode name in the variable “$input”, the power mode names

supported by the monitor can be got from the querying result of example 3.1.

$pcs='T-PC1','kk'

$input='Off'

foreach ($pc in $pcs)

{

echo ("Computer: " + $pc)

$outputs=(Get-WmiObject -Class DisplayDevice -Namespace "root\Lenovo\Lenovo_Display"

-ComputerName $pc)

foreach ($output in $outputs)

{

echo ("Set " + $output.ModelName + " Power Mode " + $input)

$result=($output.SetPowerMode($input))

if ($result.ReturnValue -eq 0)

{

echo ("Result OK")

}

else

{

echo ("Result Error")

}

echo ""

}

Pause

Running result of the script:

3.5 Firmware update

The below script demonstrates how to update the monitor firmware remotely. Specify the

firmware image path in variable “$input”, and share the parent path of the image.

$pcs='T-PC1','kk'

$input='\\kk\SharePkg\Test_FWInstaller.zip'

foreach ($pc in $pcs)

{

echo ("Computer: " + $pc)

$outputs=(Get-WmiObject -Class DisplayDevice -Namespace "root\Lenovo\Lenovo_Display"

-ComputerName $pc)

foreach ($output in $outputs)

{

echo ($output.ModelName + " Update FW " + $input)

$result=($output.InstallFWWMIFile($input))

if ($result.ReturnValue -eq 0)

{

echo ("Result OK")

}

else

{

echo ("Result Error")

}

echo ""

}

Pause

Running result of the script:
