According to the info I was reading, the LCD backlight is kept on even when the monitor is dark (low-power, sleep, screen saver modes, etc). IOW, the MTBF is only extended when the monitor is physically powered-off.
While that may be true for some monitors I doubt it's so for most. There would be no point to sleeping the monitor if it's so as the backlight is the bulk of the power consumption. The backlight is certainly powered off on laptops and every LCD display I know of. When they power up from sleep you can see a transition of the display that is the backlight coming on.
