what you can still try

open

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

and add

# uncomment to put the monitor into power saving mode (DPMS)
hdmi_blanking=1

After I edit the code as you described above, the screen shows “no signal” after 10 to 15 minutes.

@killing-joke - When the screen does its fade-to-black thing, what happens if you hook up a mouse or keyboard to the pi and wiggle it? Does everything come back?

In my experience, the best way to keep the screen from going black is to install XScreenSaver and set it to never run a screensaver.

That was the strange thing. Nothing happend after I connected a keyboard or a mouse to it and pressed any key or wiggled the mouse.
I´ll try to install the XScreenSaver and give feedback afterwards.

Thanks for your help @all!!

P.S.: After half an hour it seems to work. Final check tomorrow, Cheers.

P.P.S.: After a night the screen is still on. Thanks for your help. The problem was solved by installing the XScreenSaver and put the pi in “no screen saver mode”.
