The No Signal error on ViewSonic monitor means that your monitor is not receiving video signal from your computer.
To fix it, power cycle your monitor. This will most probably resolve the issue.
First ensure that the correct input source is selected in the monitor settings.
If power cycling doesn’t work, factory reset your ViewSonic monitor.
Connect your computer or laptop to another monitor if available. If the problem persists on the other monitor as well, the issue is with your PC.
Check Input Source
Most latest ViewSonic monitors come with multiple ports such as HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C.
Make sure that the correct port is selected as the input source.
For example, if you have connected your PC or laptop through HDMI or DisplayPort to your ViewSonic Monitor, you must select the respective option as the input source setting.
To access the Input Source setting on your ViewSonic Monitor, press the Menu button on the monitor and then select the Input Select option.
Select your HDMI or DisplayPort (whichever video cable you are using). See the screenshot below:
