I'm having issues with a new Acer KG281K UHD monitor. Can't seem to get any sort of display. The monitor "tries" to display something, then goes black, and cycles through this attempt.
I have a 2nd monitor connected - an old Dell 24" 1920x1200 monitor, and I'm using it now to type this message!
System info as follows:

BUT this borked my system completely, so I ended up having to restore a Timeshift backup from the command line. Never done that before so learning as I go.
So, all is working now except the UHD monitor. I'm thinking drivers but not sure where to go next. Any help much appreciated.
