Display is bit blurry on Desktop. Is perfect when connected to Laptop.

[Aditya123456]

Hello, as said in the question, my monitor is a bit blurry(The text, controls, etc.) when connected to my Desktop. But when connected to my laptop, the display is absolutely sharp.
The Display is: LG 22 MP67vq

The Desktop Configuration is:
Core i5 6500
ASUS H170 PRO Gaming
8 GB DDR4 Kingston Hyper X Fury
Zotac GTX 100 6GB.

At first I thought it was my graphics card. But then the display behaved this way even when connected to the internal graphics before this GPU was bought.

The Laptop Configuration is:
Dell 3521:
Core i3 3227u
AMD Radeon HD 7670m
4 GB DDR3 RAM.

The Problem with the Desktop persists in the BIOS as well as in Ubuntu and Windows 8.1 (Not Tried with Windows 10)

What is the native resolution of your laptop screen? What is the native resolution of your Desktop monitor? unless they are the same, then I suspect that your desktop monitor is trying to display the laptop resolution, and is therefore having to convert it.

What is the native resolution of your laptop screen? What is the native resolution of your Desktop monitor? unless they are the same, then I suspect that your desktop monitor is trying to display the laptop resolution, and is therefore having to convert it.

The Native Resolution of my Laptop screen is 1366x768.
The Native Resolution of my Desktop Monitor is 1920x1080.

But you dont get the problem. The Display is blurry on the Desktop. Not on the laptop. Both (desktop/laptop) have the display running at native resolution, without any hdmi switch or anything else, over the same cable.

I do get the problem. Your desktop monitor is upscaling a 1366x768 image to display at 1920x1080. It is having to display the lower resolution on a higher resolution monitor, therefore stretching the image to fit and that will make the image appear blurred on the desktop. Are you wanting to use both displays at the same time?

Are the settings in BIOS set for PCI-e as primary graphics?? If not, try that.

First i thought it was zoom function in Windows (when you make things appear bigger, 125% or 150% you sometimes get a blurry picture) but as it happens in BIOS too, this can't be the case.

The Display is blurry on the Desktop at 1920x1080 resolution set in the "Screen Resolution".
It is a standalone display for the Desktop.

Yes, the settings in BIOS are set for PCI-e as primary graphics.
Although I have enabled Intel HD Graphics Adapter (in Multimonitor iGPU).
Although changing this setting does nothing.

Yes, your desktop monitor is set to 1920x1080, but your laptop is still outputting a 1366x768 image. since these are digital displays, the desktop is doing a conversion, and stretching1366 pixels to cover 1920 pixels, and it is NOT a 1 to 1 conversion(it is doing the same to the 768 to 1080). What happens when you'e got the display on the desktop monitor, and then go into the laptopsettings and change the 1366x768 to 1920x1080?

The monitor is blurry when connected to the desktop, not the laptop.
And at both times the monitor is at its native resolution.

That's wierd! :/
Are you sure that the desktop's video card is set to 1920x1080?

Uninstall your graphics driver, reboot. download the latest nvidia driver and install it. Go to display settings, change the size of text, apps and other items to 100%. Hope it helps...
