Vostro 5480 - connecting external monitor makes laptop LCD blurry

When I connect an external monitor to my new Vostro 5480, I get an excellent picture on the external monitor. However, the laptop LCD, blacks out for a second and comes back up as blurry.

Disconnecting the external monitor removes the fuzziness from the laptop LCD.

I have had a Vostro 5470 and just recently upgraded - I have used this setup with the 5470 before without any issues.

I have all latest drivers for all hardware. No issues in device manager.

What gives? Thanks.

Thank you.

All my drivers are already updated, including the latest BIOS version A03.

I have also tried your brightness solution, but it didn't do anything to fix the blurriness that appears in the laptop LCD when I connect an external monitor.

What gives?
