flickering white dots

yes, I seem to have a similar problem. Always when returning from display sleep. Either the external monitor comes back with shimmering, flickering white dots or the display simply won't come out of sleep.

Same thing happens whether I'm connected at work or at home to an external display.

I'm still having this problem. Apple won't even acknowledge if they're aware of the issue! Call Apple Care today and let them know this isn't just a few isolated instances, but a real problem.

Is everybody else still suffering from this?

I'm having the same issue on my new MacBook Pro 2.8 ghz on the external display only. When connecting to a DVI monitor I see the sparkling white pixels, especially noticable in dark areas. I've swapped out all cabling to monitor as well as verifying good power connections and issue persists. I've been able to verify that the issue does not occur on my 2005 PowerBook laptop's DVI out connected to the same set of cabling and monitors as current. It is a problem somewhere inside my new MBP. I've tried setting the graphics card to "better performance" and "better battery life" and the issue persists. Anybody know what this is? Any word from Apple?

I have the same problem on a 14 day old MBP (2.53GHz 15 inch). I've seen it twice in the evenings. External monitor is a DELL 27 inch lcd display. Does anyone know how to reproduce this so I can show a guy in the shop?

BTW - I posted a video of the problem here - http://vimeo.com/2911394

I have the same issue, but it's not quite as pronounced.... On a 22" ACD.

Anyone find a solution.

Just wanted to add.... it's just as pronounced, but I connected this Samsung 2433BW display via DVI and it's solid, no random pixel noise in dark areas... But it's definitely an issue on my 22 ACD....
