The sleep settings can be such that ... even when it is plugged in .. it will blank the display.

Check your settings in System Preferences / Energy Saver (or Battery) panel and review the "Turn off Display" settings.

Also check your "hot corner" settings. The four corners can be set to sleep or turn off the display. These settings are under "Hot Corners..." in the "Screen Saver" section of the "Desktop & Screen Saver" panel in System Preferences.
