Mac mini sleep mode settings when connected with Samsung monitor

My question is regarding my newly bought Mac mini and the go to sleep function. I use a Samsung new screen.

Personally I never sleep my Mac. I simply use Lock Screen. After a short time the signal to the monitor will turn off and you just need to set up the monitor so that it turns off the display after a set period of time without a signal (many monitors do this by default).


When at idle, the new MacMinis use very little power so sleep is really no longer needed.


Also, with Lock Screen, your mMac is just the way you left it ready to go with no delay.
