- xset dpms force off

will turn monitors off, but somehow they wakeup in 10 seconds again.

So not sure if this is a bug in screensaver, but it is a nasty and COSTLY bug.

It will burn 100 watts (3 monitors) and lower lifetime of my monitors.

What's the use of a screensaver or power mode, when it doesn't power off monitors.
