Some number of minutes after mine blanks out, my monitor does the yellow light
thing. It doesn't get sync anymore. So I presume something turned it off.
The monitor has shutdown most of its circuitry, especially the backlight. So
it is saving energy.

But there are times when I want to have it stay on, such as when I have the
weather radar display full screen during stormy weather.
