Hi all

Got a new Alienware laptop and plugged it in my exsiting Dell monitor through DP>MiniDP. I have the laptop lid closed and just work off the monitor. Everything working fine this week.

This morning I am using it and I notice that when I was writing an Outlook message the body part of the window would turn grey and then randomly flip back to white.

Didn't think much of it, but then when I started to browse the web I noticed my startup screen (which is a white background) was also grey. Then suddenly it flipped to being white. Sometimes when I refresh, but othertimes it will just change back to white on it's own after a few seconds.

If I open the laptop lid so that I have both screens showing (the same thing), then it doesn't do it. Only when the lid is shut.

Have contacted Dell, but be a while before I hear back.

Any ideas appreciated.

Cheers
