I'm having a similar problem but with one monitor on a dual monitor
workstation:

Mine never blanked in F17 but blanking worked in previous fedora

Hmm, I get the same behavior in a virtual console as I do in X, that is

What happens when you do :
xset dpms force off
When I do it my monitors appear to shut down but then one turns back on.
