Yes, Put display to sleep when inactive does blank and recover the
screen correctly.

As a side note, I noticed in the battery power menu that there was a
Do Nothing option on When laptop lid is closed. It did not do nothing,
and caused the same issue I observed as Blank screen on AC (the
problem I described before).
