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.

    Nice widget, simple and unobtrusive :-)
    Chris, as with any widget that works on 'left click' just hold down 'Ctrl' when you left click on it to move it to where you want on screen

    I like this. Any chance you can make version that lowers the brightness, like for a laptop when you want to conserve your battery?

Get It!
