kingdingeling Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Hey guys, it's been a while since I logged in here, but I need some help! I just got a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon and the OneLink docking station to go with it. I have connected a Samsung 2492HS screen through the HDMI port on the docking station and was trying to use dual screens. So far, I have set the screen to the native resolution of 1920x1080 60Hz, but the picture quality is absolutely horrendous. It seems like it's somewhat out of focus in Firefox, like hurting my eyes when I read out of focus. Also, Windows configured it so that the desktop symbols are humongous, which I can't seem to change? Up until last week I was using the same monitor with my Samsung P480 Laptop + DVI and the picture quality was amazing! Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks a lot!

Waco Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Sounds like the DPI scaling is set by default on your new laptop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Hey Waco, thanks for the reply! I think that was part of the problem. I changed it back to 100% scaling, which is ideal for the 24" screen, however the icons etc are now tiny on the 14" laptop. As far as my research goes, it is impossible to change the DPI per monitor in Winblows 8.1 which sucks... Also, the text is still not exactly ideal. It still hurts my eyes a little bit reading on the big screen. While it does seem to be better, it's still slightly blurry... not sure how to properly explain that?

DanTheGamer11 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Did ya try adjusting the ClearType thing? It's in display settings too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Yea, I did change the ClearType, which also seems to have made it better. I think the contrast to the WQHD IPS panel on the laptop just makes the 24" Samsung seem a bit old and out of focus... or maybe I am imagining things... still, the DVI connection from the old laptop had a better picture quality than the HDMI connection on this ThinkPad, which is quite annoying actually...

bp9801 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Latest drivers installed for the dock? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Yep, just installed those. There's another problem which I have just realized: Every time I start I have to reset the display scaling on the Samsung, since it makes the picture larger than the screen can handle...

Waco Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 In the TV settings there should be a way to disable over scan and/or enable pixel-to-pixel mode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 The only option I have is to disable AV Mode on the display itself, which helps, but doesn't fix the overscan completely. Various forums suggest it should be found in the catalyst control center etc, but I have an integrated Intel HD4400 card. I've been searching through the options of the configuration utility but I don't think there's an option for overscan / pixel-to-pixel mode Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
