From the message, I understand that you are using a mobo with onboard GPU, with HDMI,DVI-D and VGA output, and you are trying to connect through HDMI to HTIB and through DVI-D to Dell Monitor.

Mobo most probably may not support HD video through both DVI-D and HDMI simultaneously, that is why you are getting bad picture quality. In that case you have to go for a dedicated GPU, which supports output through HDMI and DVI-D simultaneously
