Possible work-around?

Frustrated, I've played around with different ways to get my monitor to work and have come up with one:

1. Shut everything down.
2. Turn off and unplug my external monitor
3. Start up my MBP
4. Once the MBP is fully booted up, plug back in the external monitor and turn it on


This has worked twice-in-a-row now. It's not a very scientific solution and is an unneeded hassle, but it seems to work for me...for now.

Good luck.
