** Description changed: + UPDATE: I switched out the DisplayPort adapter with another one, and + haven't seen any blinking off since then. So I suspect I have a bad + adapter. + My computer is a Lenovo ThinkPad x220, to which I've attached a Samsung SyncMaster P2450 monitor, using the DisplayPort digital connection. The monitor periodically goes dark (blank) for a half-second to a second, then comes back on. This does not appear to happen with the laptop screen when I'm using that alone. I can't replicate this with any specific actions, though it is my sense that it's occurring when browsing (but I'm not even sure about that). Thanks...
