I've just installed a Dell 24" IPS monitor as my secondary display and rotated it to portrait mode (it's primarily going to be my reading / working monitor). Problem is, as soon as I rotate it to portrait (and set to "portrait" mode in Windows for second display), image quality goes way down. It's grainer, colors are worse, and text is not sharp but as if everything is separated into shifted layers of colors (like a yellow halo around the text and other objects). It's not extremely obvious at a quick glance, but very obvious once I actually look at the monitor and read web pages and such. I'm waiting on a dual-link DVI cable to arrive in the mail from monoprice (as my extra died last night) and currently using a cheapo single-link DVI cable -- so maybe that's a problem. But still - everything is perfect in landscape mode, why should it get so messed up in portrait?
System details: I've got a GTX 670 and Intel HD 4000 graphics on. Main monitor is running off the discrete graphics card, and the secondary monitor is connected to the iGPU through the motherboard. I tried connecting to the discrete graphics card - same thing.
How do I fix this! Unless it really is some odd bug with my single-link DVI cable, though the number of pixels' worth of information remains the same...
