I think other owners have this same issue. After waking, the video will come on and display on the monitor just fine. Then after a minute or two, the video will blink off, and then back on again after a second. This seems to only happen after the computer has been asleep and then I go to use it again. It's not a huge problem, but it's annoying since I just got this thing literally days ago. I didn't expect any issues with it.

I have an hdmi cable with a DVI adapter. But, it shouldn't have anything to do with that. From my reading online, it seems that people disagree with the best approach. Some people say return it for a new one, others say to just deal with it.

Should I return it, or just deal with it?

I had this issue... only saw it twice though.
But for the last two days I HAVE NOT seen anything, it's either happening after I stepped away or it stopped happening. I did change my power saving settings to never sleep the hard drive. (The one that gives you the option that is up to 3 hours/Off in power saving settings. Blanking on the verbiage right now.)
