    If you are still in warranty now is the time to contact Acer to get it fixed. If you are out of warranty then it's going to depend on how comfortable you are tearing it down. The eDP cable needs to be replaced, and it's tied in to both the bottom and top sections of the laptop, so replacing is a little involved.

    at what angle and is it vertical, horizontal or both?  Do you mean the viewing angle, or the angle you put the display at compared to the keyb?

    If you can pin it down to either movement front or back or it doesn't matter the position or movement it would help a lot. If it's when you are moving the display or in certain positions only it might be a failure in the eDP cable that runs between the display and the motherboard, though the hinged area.

    it's when moving the display or in certain positions only. How do I fix that?

    I'm under warranty I have contacted them. A technician came to my home and took a look and he'll be fixing it soon. Thanks for your help bro.

    Hola, I am facing the same issue with the same model. Acer Swift 3 314-55g. Acer care told me to change the display and it's cost 40 % price of a new laptop. What a drag! Any suggestions guys?

    I repaired it by myself. I opened a back panel. I found DP cable is got fit with a laptop and display connector. I unscrew and make the DP cable loos too easy to move while sliding the display. Now it's working perfectly.
