    Hey i had the same issue,

     

    Put the screen inot eco power mode via the Acer screen menu options and see how you go.

     

    It worked for me. when all else failed took about 3 weeks to find it now im running 100hz at 3440x1440 over clocked.

     

    May sure you are using the correct display port on the back of the graphics card not the one up above that may be plugged.

     

    Hope it works for you let me know.

    Let me know if any of this works, I have a similar issue with the x34 and using a Nvidia 970 and have to use HDMI.

    I send it to ACER service on warranty, let see what they say...

     

    Yes, I know I can use HDMI, but I bought it for DisplayPort. HDMI is only 60Hz, DP is 100Hz.

     

    I gonna let You know if it's work after service.

    It's back from the service. The mainboard was damaged, they change it for new one. They said that it was damaged in manufacture. Tommorow I get monitor back and we will see, but I think now gonna be ok.

    I have a KG281K, about five months old. Same problem, but the "eco" trick didn't work. It may help others to know exactly how my issue arose. I had never used the "Sleep after X time" option in Windows 10. (this is with a Radeon card, by the way). For some reason, something possessed me to have the system sleep after two hours. Bam! No DisplayPort port after the very first auto blanking. And another computer, different cables, also have no entree to the port either!

    I'm waiting for a call back from second level support. First level wants me to return the monitor for examination, but I really need to have a good monitor (using HDMI in the mean time), and have asked for a "loaner" before sending back this one.

    Well this is mind blowing. I just had the exact same issue happen to me after doing the same thing (enable screen "sleep" from the OS instead of the screensaver) but on macOS.
    Now nothing can be done, display port is dead. Checked with another cable, still dead. Original cable works on the same monitor (I have two of them).

    On a hunch, I disconnected the power cord and let it sit overnight. Next morning, it was just fine, no more problem with the displayport. I'm guessing that the sleep command sent by Windows was either invalid, or the DP protocol implemented by Acer is invalid, one or the other. In any event, whatever switch was turned off was cleared once the firmware was restored to normal after a very cold boot.

    You can often get the same results by turning it off, disconnecting the power cable, then press and holding the power button for 60 seconds. Just turning it off doesn't actaully drop power and just pulling the plug doesn't bleed off the capacitors.

    Hi @ RUDYKOT
    Make sure that the cable is not loose. Unplug the video cable from both monitor and computer and plug it in again. Sometimes the No Signal issue occurs if the monitor is not connected to the correct video source. This generally happens if your monitor supports multiple inputs.15
    You may not be aware, but usually the DisplayPort no signal issue comes from improper connection. You have to ensure that the connector has been plugged into the port correctly and it cannot be pulled out too easily. You can unplug an re-plug the DisplayPort

    Got it working again for me. Thanks! I even bought a new video card because mine was older, and showing signs of heat on the metal on back. Thanks again! I unplugged held the power, and when I plugged it back in, it started working again. (I use sleep when I'm not around)
