Hi Scot,
As you already know I have one of these monitors also. Are you 100% sure that the monitor has a sleep mode? Do you actually see the tube going off and than back on when you wake it up within 30 minutes? I personally haven't tried using any power mgmt with this monitor as I figured it wouldn't be energy star compliant as it is an arcade monitor not a PC monitor.
Are you sure that when you put it to "sleep" that the video card isn't just cutting the signal and the monitor is just displaying a black screen?
I don't know, just a thought.

BTW, my new replacement monitor should be here tomorrow!
: I have a 27" Sharp Image Monitor (SI-327V aka SI227SVGA) and it seems to have a curious sleep mode.
: Using Windows ME, I set the power management to put the monitor to sleep after 10 minutes.
: If I wake the monitor up within 30 minutes or so, it come right up. If I let it go for an hour or longer then it refuses to come out of sleep mode.
: Huh? I don't understand what it happening! :)
: Does anyone have a clue, or even better, have a manual for these monitors? I've tried writing Sharp ( www.sharpimage.net ) with no luck.
