Facts:

Windows 7 64bit sp1
LG Flatron monitor
Asus Z87-Plus motherboard
no graphics card, monitor is running straight off motherboard

In the control panel - power settings my setting is "turn the display off never". Yet, my monitor goes to sleep after about 30 minutes. Why?

I read somewhere it might be a bios setting but I don't see any monitor sleep settings for my motherboard's bios. However, I might not have ran across such a menu.

I looked at my monitor's settings and I don't see a menu that will make it go to sleep after a certain amount of time.

What might be prompting this issue?
 
I've spent some time working on this since posting this thread. Screen saver and power options can be ruled out.

Is LG ForteManager a 3rd party utility? I can't find it on LG's site.

Any other ideas?
