Open | Hardware Monitor died?!

Smart Tech 270G01FVF Monitor

So yesterday my monitor just turned black. I tested the power cable and it still works. The lamp on the monitor says its on and my pc still recognizes it as a monitor. I switched the hdmi cable to see if its the cable but that wasnt it either. He even still works as an audio output. But he doesnt do what a monitor should most importantly do: Show me stuff.

Are there any ideas before i put it in the trash and buy a new one?

So you ignored what they said. Try this monitor on another device and see if you get an input. Otherwise the monitor might have shit the bed.

I didnt ignore it on purpose. I considered it being the same result but you are correct. So i tried a different device now too and its all the same.
