I am looking for the best option to sleep my new 17" LCD monitor. I have tried using the Energy Saver control panel, but it seems to be kinda flaky. I've set it to sleep the monitor after 15 minutes and to never spin down the hard drive. I don't want the whole machine to sleep since I'm running RC5. Are there any other shareware/freeware options to put the monitor under? I really need to get this figured out since I want to avoid more screen burn in. I really miss the fact that I can't just push a button and shut off the monitor!
Yeah, about those TPS reports, didn't you get the memo?

Been using it for about a year - love it.
The current version works with LCDs. "Sleeper now supports desktop LCD displays, such as the Apple Studio and Apple Cinema displays."
