whats the source of the problem?

okay, so, i got myself a beautiful black friday deal on an Acer 22" widescreen monitor...which is absolutely pristine. the problem is that when i turn it off while my computer is still on, it wont pick up a signal when i turn it back on. i have to restart my computer to get it to respond.
my video card is a Sapphire Radeon 9600PRO, and im using the DVI connection on the monitor. this isnt really a problem, just more of a nuisance...so, any ideas on what the problem might be?

There could be some problem with monitor's power switch
