How To Get Monitor To Re-Acquire Signal After Turning It Off?

When I turn my monitor on first, then my computer, it gets signal every time, no problem. But when I turn the monitor off while the computer is on, just to save power, and then turn it back on, I get no signal with a computer still on and no way to turn it off or close any of my stuff. I was right in the middle of making a steam account and now I can't get signal.

Is there a button I can push on the monitor to re-acquire the signal? It has like 4 unlabeled buttons next to the power button.

Turning the monitor off saves very little power over letting the monitor go to sleep.

My solution is "Don't do that!" :)
