I had the blink problem when I used a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter. The problem disappeared when I switched to a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter. _________________ Cheers,

Thanks. I know I have a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter around here somewhere (it seems like I'm ordering something from Monoprice every month!) I'll try your suggestion.
