Both of the computers go through a dual screen video switch, which allows me to switch between both computers while still using both monitors on each.

The lenovo laptop has a minidisplay port and a vga port. I'm using 2x identical Samsung monitors, a custom built desktop unit and a lenovo laptop (no docking station). I've actually had the same problem myself (I obviously can't tell if the root cause is the same but the symptoms were very similar) and here are my specs, my findings and my trick to workaround it : I think the following may be of help for you. Crisp image and text on both external monitors. I just went with the docking station and DP to HDMI adapter and it worked flawlessly. The USB to HDMI adapter did NOT work for me at all. It seems in order to get it working I will need either a docking station or an adapter. Thank you everyone for the responses/suggestions. I already tried tuning ClearType but did not fix it either.

The resolution that I'm using is the native one for the monitors, 1920 x 1080. When I go to the NVDIA settings, only one of the monitors can use the NVS 5200M chip, while the other one takes the Intel HD Graphics 4000 adapter, and I think that depends on which one I make my main display, but making the VGA monitor my main display (even though it would use the NVS 5200M) does not fix the issue. Now, I have made sure it is not the cable because like I said, if I connect the monitor that looks odd through HDMI instead of VGA (i switch which monitor uses which cable), then it looks fine and the other looks bad. I asked the wife to look at both monitors without telling her there was an issue, and she said the same thing. Problem is, the text and overall image looks perfect and sharp on whichever of the two I connect through HDMI, while the VGA one just does not seem right, text does not look crisp, and just blurry enough that you cannot tell it's blurry, but you feel there's something wrong about it. One connected to the laptop through HDMI and another through VGA. I have two external AOC IPS i2367Fh 23-Inch Screen LED Monitor. Laptop is a Dell Latitude E6535, which has Video chip/card NVidia NVS 5200M. I've tried a lot of things but I can't seem to get it working correctly.
