hi all,
i'm using HP Probook 440 which the screen is IPS. i attach external monitor (HP V27i) via HDMI port.
screen setting for laptop and external monitor as per recommended (default set by windows 11) but on different resolution and scale.
problem is, text and icon appeared on external screen will be blurry.

i already play around all the Display setting including resolution, scaling, custom scaling, update/reinstall gfx driver (Intel Graphic) and even install driver for external monitor. still not fix the issue. i also try the ClearType setting and tuning, still not success.

any idea?
tq in advance

looks like its a 27inch screen
that's kinda expected for a 1080p screen at that size

24inch is the sweet spot

the external monitor work nicely (display, icon, text) without blurr/pixelate on other computer or if connect to other laptop (non IPS screen).
and also, i did try connect my laptop to other 24" monitor. still got this issue.

i start wondering if HP laptop is the issue since i try another laptop (last year model) and found same issue with me.
but exploring HP website (support & driver) not finding anything related.

worth checking if you need to update the intel UHD driver.
and try with another HDMI cable.

Do not use scale. Just adjust the text only.

Display settings > Scale > Text size

Try setting the external monitor as your main display instead.
