2 weeks out of warranty Dell monitor starts blinking on and off

The timing is either amazing or the electrical storm this afternoon fried something. I have the 2721dgf now it turns black for 2 seconds before resuming randomly. My other 4k dell monitor is fine

Any solutions? Repair or black Friday?

Have you tried a different cable or different input (if the monitor has more than one)?

Similar experience, but in reverse. Have 4K Dell S2721Q that exhibits your on/off behavior. I swapped the power cable between it and my 2721DGF and it alleviated the problem. Used to be practically constant on/offs, now only does this occasionally after waking display. Power cycling then fixes. Not a great experience or solution, but try some diff power cables (C13) if you have some around.
