You're probably on the right track, clever of you to measure the times.

My plasma has a "no activity" time-out: like for no active input, receives no remote signals, stuff like that, I've never used it. Look for some feature like that, maybe under a power-saving (sub-)menu.

I can certainly see this feature for a watt-sucking plasma, but I guess even for a LCD it saves a bit of power.

Unlike the sleep timer, which requires "planning", this is for when you forget to power off, or pass out.
