Well, after reading the /usr/share/acpi-support/screenblank file you 
said, the only line being run there was "xset dpms force off". I ran 
that in the terminal hoping it would disrupt my wireless connection to 
no avail.

I came to figure out that - for some weird reason I cannot explain nor 
will I try to - the fact that I was calling the command through a key 
combination altogether with the keys I used to call it, were causing the 
problem. For the record, the key combination was 
<Control><Alt>XF86MonBrightnessDown and the command ultimately was "xset 
dpms force off".
I came about a fix simply by changing the key combination to 
<Control><Alt>B.
