That's interesting, though not my experience. If a monitor is turned off then the PC picks up that it has disconnected.

The scenario I described occurs when the OS (Windows) sleeps the screen after inactivity. It could be a function of the laptop, of the monitor, or of the cables. In my set up using HDMI over display port solves it.
