The option Let the user decide applies the corresponding setting configured in Windows system settings.
When selecting Enable for Screensaver or Sleep, or Turn off after (minutes) for Display, a field appears on the right for entering a custom value. This allows the user to specify the idle time interval after which the feature will activate.

You can set the Display option to Always ON using this setting.
