    Has anyone encountered this problem with their notebook? The monitor stays black upon wake-up, and it usually takes *TWO* hard starts to get the monitor to come back on. Any help or solutions are much appreciated.

    Make sure that the BIOS and graphics driver are both up to date.

    Are you using Samsung's SW Update to obtain the latest drivers and Samsung software?
