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.

    Good with an exception

    This widget works great when I wake the monitor with the keyboard but when I click with the mouse the screen blinks on and off.

    Not bad. I love the fact that you can change the image to a file of your own choosing and can scale down the widget, but it needs hotkey activation like Monitor Standby. I'll go back to that widget because I cannot do without the hotkey.

    @Russell: Your comment about pressing the power button instead was cute, but since I have three displays on my workstation, using a widget to sleep the displays is easier and faster than turning off all displays manually.

    IT DOSENT WORK

    It didnt work for me, it may be vista or my computer but it just set my screen blinking on and off every second so I had to move my mouse in the on periods to try and delete it.
    Yes it may work with some computers but dont use it if you have a Acer laptop with vista!!!!

    works just like it should, but I'm an old fashioned soul. I find stretching my arm a few inches to press the button my montior to be very liberating.
