Same here (current hardy, nvidia driver, external LCD Samsung XL20).

$ xset -q | grep -A1 DPMS
DPMS (Energy Star):
  Standby: 0    Suspend: 0    Off: 0
  DPMS is Enabled
  Monitor is On

$ xset dpms 20 0 0

Then the screen blanks after 20 secs and then turns on again as the LCD
searches the input signal and after a few seconds goes to standby (i.e.
the LED backlight + fan are switched off).

screen doesn't switch off by itself
