off if the computer is in the Suspend PM mode.
Video Off Method
This governs monitor power saving by controlling how power
management blanks the monitor screen. The default setting
blanks the screen and turns off vertical and horizontal scanning
and requires a monitor with "green" features. If you don't have
this type of monitor, use the Blank option. DPMS (Display
Power Management System) allows the BIOS to control the video
display card if the card has the DPMS feature.
