It's not like I didn't try to twiddle just about every available menu item, and also used the monitor's "Reset to Factory Defaults" to no avail. However, while trying again I found a hidden menu item which is only available during the short time the "No Signal" message is displayed, where the left/right touch buttons open a "Scan Time" setting with "Normal" and "Slow" options. After I changed it, the issue was solved. I changed it back and the issue doesn't reproduce. So it looks some internal configuration of the monitor was messed up and is now fixed by twiddling the hidden menu item. "Scan Time" is not documented in the manual nor is there an indication in the "No Signal" popup. Case closed.
