The monitor turns off automatically after 'x' minutes though I disabled the

to leave the monitor on as I'm using it as a monitoring tool for my team.
Disabling screen saver does just that -- disables the screen saver from showing
up. To avoid the monitor from blanking you have to tweak the power management
functions of your system.
Depending on the desktop environment you use, you can change it using the
appropriate tool. For GNOME it is called 'gnome-power-preferences'
A quick google tells me controlling this is possible also possible using xset
(the dpms option):
