    I'd say it's either defective or you have a loose display connection.

    Not a cord problem. When I set all my settings to LOW when playing game it doesn't happen. This only happen when I play a game with High settings.

    Same problem here with monitor acer xr342ck and using a 1080TI.
    The problem is random, it happens some times playing, browsing or whatever.

    I have a ET430K 43"" monitor and its happening to me too,

    When the black screen happens there is not an event entry in the PC event logs that correspond with the time of the black screen.

    if it was the gfx card = event log entry 
    if it was HDD or any other component = Event Long entry

    There is no event log entry because it is the monitor that is doing this. 

    Acer you should start working on a firmware update to address this problem asap.

    Now does everyone monitor that is doing this have a Philips IPS panel?

    From my findings its not gfx related as it happens at complete random times, there is not an event or acton that causes it. it is purely the monitor going black and then returning.

    can we get an official word from Acer about this please.

    Im going to place a desk fan behind my monitor I think this might be a thermal event, monitor overheating ??

    I just bought the ET430K 43" and my screen goes black for no apparent reason.  It glitches off for a few seconds then comes back on.... it sounds like you have a manufacture problem.  Please address!

    Same problem here... brand new ET430K; connected to a GTX1070 founders edition on a Mac system (really high quality hardware)... Found out it's an Acer problem.. Never Acer for me again... No time to go to repair center; I need the monitor for production WORK :-(
