I don't have an answer to your original question.  I also have a front
end TV that ignores DPMS power off.

My 23" Samsung LCD works fine and powers off the monitor.  My
Panasonic rear projection ignores DPMS power off.  The screen blanks,
but the guns don't shut off.  So then it continually scrolls
"Digital-In".

I guess my real question when looking for a new TV when needed is what
key words or specifications to look for in a TV that powers off the
display guns.
