text: my monitor never turns off, even though it is set to turn off after 1 minute.  how do i fix this? screen saver is the same.  it is set for 1 minute, but it never turns on.  my monitor is left on, and with no screen saver, all of the time.  it's bad for the monitor, and bad b/c it uses more energy.  any ideas? sound like it's going into "stand by " mode in which case that is not bad; it actually takes more energy to power up from "off" and that repeated action is bad for your monitor to perform over and over...
