   Seems like OLED brightness issues. not sure other screen is work or not.

   • Sleep is worked , but built-in screen will be black screen when wake.

   • Problem
     • Can't resume to single monitor mode when remove HDMI monitor, and virtual desktop in external monitor will be loss.
     • HDMI monitor will be black except mouse indicator when re-plug HDMI monitor.
   • Workaround
     1. Enable mirror mode in Preferences-Monitor-Arrangement before remove HDMI monitor to avoid virtual desktop loss in external monitor.
