I once did it with succes (Debian7) with this command:
xset -dpms; xset s off
I think you need to repeat the command after rebooting. So don't reboot
ir execute the command in your boot process.
I also had succes with the energy-monitor settings from Gnome (Debian7).
This gives information:
xset -q
Not sure I did it as root or as normal user.
