SUMMARY
When using a dual monitor setup and configuring power management to NOT lock
screens and NOT sleep and NOT to hibernate but simply turn the screens off and
no more than that, kscreens2 will put the monitors to sleep and the wake them
right back up, shutting off kscreen2 allowed the screens to be shutoff and stay
off as would be expected.
See discussion here:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Hardware is dual monitors and nvidia graphics card
2. setup Power Management apps and Screen Locking apps to ONLY turn off
screens and set the timeout to 1 minute for convenience
3. Observe that after 1 minute both monitors are turned off , wait and within
20-30 seconds they will be re-awoken
OBSERVED RESULT
Monitors shut off but do not stay off
EXPECTED RESULT
The monitors should stay off until a key is pressed or the mouse is moved
