Normally, I'd look in settings for something like "power management" or "display." Depending on which screensaver you are using, the screensaver often has some display power management settings.

I feel a little sheepish now that I've found out what the cause was.
Because the settings window does not open full screen I didn't think to scroll down and there is the power management setting:
As you can see I had it set to 30 minutes (which appears to be how it was working in the past). I then decided to set it to 5 minutes and see what happens. When I returned to my PC the screen was off as expected.
Without knowing the inner workings of Cinnamon, it appears that the screen off function was disabled but this was not reflected in the settings window. It looks like making a change has re-written to where ever this setting is stored and I have this functionality back.
