How to prevent my screens from turning off, when the screen is locked?
I would like to have my screen fully powered at all times, but it goes to standby once I lock my PC.

Open your System Settings. We need to make changes to Power and Brightness & Lock settings.

Power Settings
Change the value of Suspend when inactive for to Don't suspend.

Brightness & Lock Settings
Change the value of Turn screen off when inactive for to Never.

This should help to achieve your desired result.

Thanks. For my particular issue (my speakers which were powered by the monitor would turn off when the screen gets locked) I just had to disable a setting of the display itself. Still, this answers the question I asked.

Looks like running XScreenSaver prevents screen turning off on Ubuntu 17.10 while accepted answer has no effect.
Not sure if it was installed by default.
Basic quickstart:
sudo apt-get install -y xscreensaver
xscreensaver -nosplash &
xscreensaver-command -lock
