SL271HL Monitor Sharpness

Hi,

 

I recently bought a S271HL, which I run with my Alienware M15x. I have the screen from my Laptop duplicated on the s271HL monitor. Straight away it was very apparent the Laptop screen (6 years old) was much sharper. I run two game clients one on each screen and the difference is quite considerable (even when no game is running and both monitors are just on the desktop). 

 

I have adjusted the settings on the display controls of the monitor and the computer / Graphics card setting to try and improve the visuals on the S271Hl but no joy. Is my laptop screen simply better? I find this hard to believe given its 6 years old.

 

I am running windows 10 (with the correct G-card drivers). Can you please advise how to improve the screen sharpness? Both Screens are HD and I would expect the new screen to have the same if not improved "visuals".

 

Additional Info:

 

  • Using HDMI Cable
  • Geforce GTX 260m graphics card

Many thanks
