Couple things to try
Try setting your screensaver to Blank ,, I would think all monitors by now
accept the blank to go into power savings mode.

Use a screen saver that doesn't animate .. and adjust power options to turn
off the monitor

Might also look at your monitor settings, you might see a disable setting
on the power saver feature for non energy star conforming video cards.

turning off display needs to be supported by the drivers / computer

did it worked in the past?

http://www.monitor-off.com/ has a software utility which can turn off
display instantly
