Monitor Off

by Abelardo Suriga

Monitor Off puts your monitor on standby with a click. A simple move of the mouse or keyboard press will wake up the computer in a few seconds.

Click on the icon to put your monitor to sleep. Hold down CTRL key to move the Widget around.

A typical 17" CRT monitor consumes 80 watts electricity; putting it on on standby reduces it to about 0-15 watts. Setting computer monitors to Power Save Mode saves money, electricity and reduces carbon dioxide emissions. After all, money isn't all you're saving.
Current Version: 1.1

    Pretty useful. It would be nice if it could lock the desktop as well in one go.
    That version would be very useful at work

    New problem

    I've been using this for a while now, love it, but suddenly, and for no apparent reason, every time I use it the thing opens up a blank cmd window. It still does what it's supposed to do, but yeah, don't know why the cmd prompt is coming up. Any ideas?

    I really like this for those of us whose monitor didn't come with the computer. This button is much faster than waiting for the monitor to restart.
