is there some utility that can do this?
it would save power, prevent monitors deterioration and electromagnetic radiation.
i presume there`s a standard command that the video card send to the monitor. if that`s true, it does`nt sound that much of a problem to program.

I would be interested in something similar also.

Hi, i hope that it is the answer to your question but i'm not sure (because i'm french and my english is not very good).
Try this:
#include
void main()
{
int OldTimeout;
//Get timeout in secondes
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETPOWEROFFTIMEOUT, 0, &OldTimeout, 0);
//Set new timeout to 1s.
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETPOWEROFFTIMEOUT, 1, NULL, 0);
//Activates the power-off phase of screen saving
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETPOWEROFFACTIVE, 1, NULL, 0);
//wait 10s
Sleep(10000);
//Deactivates the power-off phase of screen saving
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETPOWEROFFACTIVE, 0, NULL, 0);
//Restore the old timeout
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETPOWEROFFTIMEOUT, OldTimeout, NULL, 0);
}

This code puts all monitors on standby, instead of only selected ones.
Putting selected monitors on standby should be possible, but it is a bit more complicated (you need to write a driver to do it). I may add this feature to a future version of UltraMon, if I get it working.
