[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1238387, member: 46727"] That's strange if the machine won't wake up in clamshell mode. I'm using an external keyboard and mouse with mine and when at home use clamshell mode. Tapping the keyboard or clicking the mouse will wake the machine up. I can even boot the machine with the lid closed and it will operate at full native resolution (1680 x 1050) in clamshell mode. As for the question about firmware... Any firmware change to the monitor would be by an update and would have to be issued by Samsung. Regarding SwitchRes X: Sometimes it works but it's a bandaid at best since it allows the use of non-supported resolutions. You could possibly damage the monitor by using it. Do you have another computer? I'd like to see what happens with the display resolution when attaching the Samsung to another machine. [/QUOTE]
