Well from personal experience, a machine that's older than that never had any problems with monitors being off on startup.
On the other hand a P4 machine had a small issue with a CRT monitor. If I started it without the monitor being on and then switched it on it would display a low intensity image. If I rebooted the machine with the monitor still being on the display would have a normal intensity again.
