I have my power settings enabled (in system settings) but this does not happen to me. I suggest you check the monitor itself and, failing that, the bios.

Hi ra.

Kmenu>System settings>Monitor & Display>powersaving.

Just restore it to default setting and increase the time ra.

Maybe the screensaver is doing it? Whatever application you're using to watch videos probably has an option to prevent it appearing, make sure that's set.
