This is affecting me on Mythbuntu 16.0.4.3 - with all updates applied as
of 10.09.2017.  Machine is an Intel NUC NUC6CAYS.

Display is a Panasonic TV connected via HDMI.

As with other users above running xrandr --output 'DP-1' --mode
'1920x1080' brings the display back to life, as does restarting X11.
The problem can be cured by killing xfsettingsd.

dmesg and Xorg.log (concatenated together) attached so that you can get
a sense of the hardware involved.

Sorry not sure whether this issue is Ubuntu specific or whether the bug
belongs upstream with the XFCE guys.  Happy to help in any way I can.

Title:
  Xfce resets TV mode to NULL when power cycled

  Confirmed

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  I had an HTPC with Mythbuntu 12.04 installed.  Upon upgrading a new
  behavior that if the TV is power cycled it no longer detects a link
  with the HTPC.

  When this happens I can find in the xorg log that there is an
  accompanying log item:

  [ 39829.509] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "NULL"

  After debugging with NVIDIA at
  https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/729955/linux/tv-stops-being-
  detected/ we've deteremined it's a X client that reacts to the RANDR
  events causing the mode to be set to NULL.

  Working through the list in an Xfce environment, the culprit is
  xfsettingsd.  If xfsettingsd is running, it causes the TV to come up
  in a NULL mode.  If it's killed, it remains in the mode it was
  previously running in.

  
  Until this is fixed, this behavior can be worked around with a simple shell 
script:
  ==============================
  #!/bin/sh
  #Fix TV state when HDMI link is lost.
  #By Mario Limonciello <supe...@ubuntu.com>

  OUTPUT="HDMI-0"
  BAD_MODE="1280x720"
  GOOD_MODE="1920x1080"

  for MODE in $BAD_MODE $GOOD_MODE; do
   DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output $OUTPUT --mode $MODE
   sleep 2
  done
