Laptop monitor graphics

[Doozay]

I currently have a laptop connected to my Dell S2415h. I am getting a PC soon. When I get the PC, will the picture quality improve since it will be better than my laptop? I am using hdmi to connect it and currently the screen is not very crisp. Both the laptop and monitor are 1080p

Also, my laptop is not IPS but the monitor is. Is the monitor displaying IPS?

Generally, external monitors are better than laptop screens. Laptop screens prioritize weight, thinness, and power consumption. Image quality is often sacrificed. For example, most laptop screens hit between 60%-80% sRGB color space (color gamut, or maximum saturation). Nearly all external monitors are designed for 100% sRGB.

Reviews of the S2415h are favorable. If the image is not very crisp, make sure the video card is in full color gamut mode. And make sure it is not overscanning (enlarging the picture being sent so it's slightly bigger than the screen).

IPS is not a setting. It's a different way of arranging the LCD which controls which pixels are lit, which allows the same color and brightness over a wider range of viewing angles. It is always "on". If you stand above the laptop and monitor and look at the screens from that elevated angle, you will probably see the laptop screen's colors have shifted, while the IPS monitor still looks good. That is what IPS (and it's equivalent from other manufacturers) gets you.

will also depend on the videocard in the pc whether onboard or a videocard.

Well, my laptop screen does look a lot better than the external monitor that it's connected too. And the pixel density doesn't look to good, but that's probably because I'm not used to such a big screen. Maybe it's because it's being displayed with a laptop graphics card?
