Then the external will work fine all day.

The solution to this is to put the laptop to sleep and wake it back up immediately. So if I have the laptop running and I plug in the monitor, the external monitor will work fine for a minute or so then the picture on the external will start to flicker between black and image. When it comes to sleep however, oh boy, I have issues. I do not close the laptop while using the external monitor.) (I use the laptop screen and the external simultaneously for dual displays. The external monitor looks great and the laptop has no problem driving the display at all, even when the internal display is set to max resolution. My experience while using the computer is great. I can't recall my exact model of laptop, but it's the one right before Force Touch was added. I'm connected via the Thunderbolt port (Mini DisplayPort). I'm using a 13' MacBook Pro with an external Dell UltraSharp U2515H (25', 1440p) monitor, along with an external keyboard and mouse. This subreddit is not endorsed or sponsored by Apple Inc.
