What is the specific model number for your monitor?

Just curious if anyone has any further thoughts on this. And does the text look soft in the screenshot? I'm pretty sure it was sharper on my old laptop (and on the external monitor when connected to that laptop), but I can't cross check it since that laptop's screen is broken. (Hence the new laptop.)
Thanks.

Hi Neil,

Sorry, I didn't see your question until just now. (A screen refresh of the topic didn't tell me that a 2nd page had been started!) The monitor is an Asus VS248H-P. However, I don't think that's a factor since the problem is apparent on both that monitor and the laptop monitor.

Thanks

If the old laptop is still working apart from the screen have you tried connecting the new screen to the old laptop and see what that looks like. Connect the monitor, turn laptop on and use the fn and an f key to change the display to the external monitor

Hi David,

Another possibility then, that could affect both the laptop and the second monitor is the video driver might need updating.

Apologies for the delayed test and reply. I finally got around to hooking up the old laptop. Took photos of the screen of the same file at the same scale on the same monitor from both laptops and I guess I was wrong - they do appear to be pretty much the same sharpness. I guess I was just thrown off somehow. Still, text and symbols in the symbol browser both appear jagged. I'm attaching the comparative images. The new Dell laptop is the left and the old Asus on the right.

It may be the camera, but the colors on the left look better.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. They should be the same since it's the same camera, same monitor and same lighting, so I'm not sure why the difference.
