Monitors won't go to power down after 30 minutes?

I've tried everything and still my monitors won't go to power down, I have
turn off display set to 25 minutes and I can leave go to work come back in 9
hours and the screen saver has kicked in but the monitors are still powered.
What else can I check to get these to go to power savings mode?

Thanks for any help, Rich

I went to power options and chose a differnt number of minutes to put the
monitors to sleep.

If I set it for a minute and then sit there it works as expected, but I set
it to 30 minutes and it stays on.
