It's not a monitor problem.  Settings in XP may be turning the monitor off instead 
of just blanking the screen.  (it's in the Power properties, and the Screen Saver 
properties)   Takes longer to come back on then, as it has to warm up, depending 
on the type of monitor used (CRT longer vs LCD shorter).  Also, make sure you have 
updated graphics drivers and that the monitor is properly identified by XP.. You 
may need the profile for the monitor to be installed into Windows if Windows doesn't 
list the monitor correctly (or says "Generic").  Drivers will be at the respective 
system builders website, on CD's that came with the system or the hardware, or at 
the respective hardware manufacturers (graphics card and monitor's)  websites...
