Still a problem.  Either switch off the monitor when not in use (ya still can 
leave the Amiga itself on), or get a copy of a PD program called PopCLI.
This program will (1) give you an instant CLI in response to an Amiga-<ESC>
combination, like the SHELL key on an Apollo computer, and (2) blank the
screen after a specific time in which no input takes place.  The blanking
is done by creating a black, 1 bit plane screen in front of anything else
that's running.  Any input event will remove this blanking.
