Monitor Off

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.

Beautiful. Simple and works perfectily. Wakes up quickly on mouse movement. Thanks a lot!

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?

Nice little piece of work. I totally agree with Sahas, a hotkey needs to be implemented. Mine mouse skills needs more to be desired. Yehey for Abelardo Surigao, Jr.!
