Question: 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?

Answer: 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...
