Windows XP Hardware >> samsung lcd monitor won't power off This is now happening with 2 different Samsung 17" LCD
monitors on two separate computers, running WinXP Pro.

Even though I have the monitor set to power off after 30
minutes, it doesn't do so. Even after several hours, the
screen saver is still on screen.

As I said, this is now happening with two different
Samsung LCD monitors. At first, both powered down
normally (as set under Display/Screen Saver/Monitor
Power), but after a few weeks, they don't do it anymore,
even if I reset the time to a different value.

Has anyone heard of anything like this before?

Windows XP Hardware >> samsung lcd monitor won't power off first of all the monitor is controlled by the video card which gets its
instructions from the system software. So my guess is that something is
running in the background which is preventing screen sleep mode.
