Do you have an NVIDIA GPU? In that case, you might try reinstalling your graphics card driver and see if that helps (that worked for me when my monitor was suddenly classifier as "Unknown," although I'm not sure what caused it to loose its recognition).

You should also make sure you are not using a VGA adapter for your monitor. Use either DVI, HDMI, or Display Port. No VGA on either end.

I had this issue and first switched to nouveau driver which fixed my laptop's display, but did not allow me to connect a second monitor. I fixed that issue running:
sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
which showed that the nvidia driver was recommended.
driver : nvidia-driver-390 - distro non-free recommended
driver : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin
So I then ran
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
which installed and used the nvidia driver.
After rebooting sudo shutdown -r now
it worked!
This is the post I followed to get those instructions.
