I contacted Dell support about the issue, and in addition to being
requested to upgrade the BIOS, I was also pointed to this new driver
package:
http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=V9HNV

I have not yet tried is, as it might only work for 12.04 Dell branded
Ubuntu, but I see that it contains many .deb files that might work for
newer versions too, including Nvidia drivers and "screen-resolution-
extra[..].deb".

Does anyone running the original Dell supported Ubuntu version see this
issue? If so, does the driver package above solve the problem?

Title:
  [Dell M4800] DPMS support broken, fails to wake up the monitor after
  putting it to sleep

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  With my Dell Precision M4800, GK106GLM [Quadro K2100M], QHD+ display, and either nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 or nvidia-graphics-drivers-319 once the display shuts off, it will not wake up anymore, and the screen stays dark. A cycle of the following will leave the display dark:
  xset dpms force off; sleep 30; xset dpms force on

  WORKAROUND: A restart of the Xserver will bring back the display.

  WORKAROUND: Don't allow DPMS to switch off the display:
  xset dpms 0 0 0

  xset -q -d :0.0
