Regardless of the above, the monitor does not blank after 10 minutes
(i.e. 600 seconds). If I run "xset dpms force off" from xterm (both as
local user and as root), the display goes dark... for approximately 1
second... and then returns to normal.
So I turned the monitor off with the physical switch, took a nap, and
turned it on when I got up. Now the blanking works again. Cue the
Microsoft support jokes. What gives???
At least you have a power switch. (something about uphill both ways?)
I recently bought a pair of reconditioned 27" Acer 2K monitors, and they
do not have a physical power switch. I have also not found an "off" in
the on-screen controls. They do go blank for power saving, but they
take about three seconds to wake up again.
