Here's a sample as to what's happening - http://www.twitpic.com/15vf2g

Magically it starts to fade white; It started on Saturday and then, I just hard restarted the MacBook about twice and it went back to normal. Yesterday it was terrible; hard restarting would work (the screen completely locks up), and eventually I figured out to tap/hold the monitor. On 3/1, it has done it's done it once so far, other than that, it's working "OK" if you will. I've tried screen calibration; I saw this one tip on Apple Support to reset the PRAM. Didn't work. Tried this other tip which said to reset PRAM and set Screen Resolution to 1024x724 stretched, reboot, and then back to normal res. Really didn't work. However, the PRAM tips were for Mac OS X 10.4.7 switching to 10.7.8, and I have 10.6.2. I got it Jan. 23, so it hasn't been too long, but this is very frustrating.

Amazing though, it didn't do that while writing this...so it's on and off.

Apple MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.2), :D

I have had this connector for my Macbook for more than a year now and I am just now having a problem. I plug it into my computer and then into my vizio tv and it works fine. When I am in mirror mode and I go to full screen a movie in iTunes, the computers screen has black and white lines going horizontal and you can't make out anything on the screen. When I put it in to extended desktop mode, its fine. Also, I have had this vizio since Christmas and I have used the computer in mirror mode ever since (maybe a total of 10 times for no more than a length of a movie, or about 90mins, each time). I never had a problem until yesterday while trying to watch a movie. I have updated the OS to the latest version and update. The resolutions never seemed to have a problem at all.
Not sure where the problem is but it has never happened before. Any help is appreciated.
