My monitor then displays 'No signal detected' in a box and puts itself into a low-power state awaiting a signal. Even if the monitor does not do that, a black screen should use less power.
I'm not so sure about that. If the monitor is an LCD and isn't doing anything to reduce its own power usage, then the backlight is still running and using just as much power, whether the screen is black or not. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
