Is it displaying some low luminosity logo or the time of day? I think this is common on OLED mobile devices and does not actually deplete the screen. Unlike led backlight, where the pixels need to actively fight the illumination source that slowly ages just to display a black screen, in OLED as long as the pixel is not lit to a significant level it will not deplete that pixel. Displaying full black is "free" even if the monitor is turned on, and keeping power on in solid state electronics is generally better than thermal cycling a dozen times per day. Still, it's a feature I will definitely turn off first thing; off means off, if I want "full black on" I will set a black screensaver.

Nope, just the monitor not going to sleep, cheerfully beaming the lock screen at full bore to an empty room. Sheer madness.

Also worth noting that the helpless suggestions to "why, just turn the monitor off" would prevent the OLED maintenance from running (since that runs automatically when the monitor goes to sleep)
