Turn off monitor with shortcut key?

[Virus154]

Is there a way too power off my monitor without having to press the power button on the monitor. The Power management that turns the monitor off if computer is not in use for an amount of time is not good enough. I want to schedule the monitor power off at a certain time and I want to turn off the monitor remotely with a shortcut key. Please let me know.... Thanks!

I've personally never heard of such a feature... sorry, but I could be wrong

No one can help?

you could setup one key to "standby" with the Power Options control panel.

this isn't exactly what you are looking for but it's a possible workaround.

what you are describing is entirely possible, but I haven't seen any software for doing it. tried searching for a while on download.com with no success

please keep us posted if you find something - this would be cool for my laptop

Can a program be written to do this task?
