Windows – Prevent display from turning off due to inactivity when watching full screen video (windows 7)

displayfullscreenwindows 7

In power options the monitor is configured to turn off (go to power saving mode) after 10 minutes of inactivity. The problem is it also turns itself off when I watch long YouTube videos in full screen.

I like power saving, so the default behavior is OK, but it shouldn't kick in when I watch fullscreen videos.

Is there a way to fix it?
