Community,

I have an older monitor, a Dell U2413 that simply seems incompatible with DisplayPort technology. My primary monitor works fine with HDMI out of my Dell 5480 docking station. But my only options for monitor#2 are DisplayPort or VGA. The DisplayPort monitor looks washed out with low contrast and high whiteness. I've spent hours tweaking settings from both "Resolution" and "Intel Graphics Settings". The display adapter is Intel Graphics 520 (I think because we run Win 7 Enterprise). The laptop is 3 days old and corporate I'm sure updated all drivers. So if DisplayPort is so great, why does my monitor look so bad? Is it because the 2413 is a 3-4 year old technology? (Thanks for the automatic obsolescence, Dell). Nothing in the 5480 owners manual. Not much relevant in community posts other than a few articles talking about "sharpness" and other tweaks I can't find. Any suggestions welcome (except for get a new monitor -- it belongs to corporate). Is there any way to duplex off the single HDMI port on the docking station box? Thanks for any ideas.
