Hi, I read another thread saying that 'shutdown.exe -o' would send a video
blanking signal to the monitor, to turn it off, but shutdown.exe on WinXP
doesn't seem to have an '-o' modifier.

Anyone know how to turn the monitor off?

(Yes I know there's a button on the front of it :D)

That button is the quickest and easiet method now isn't it? And the
most foolproof?
 
Great program but I'm running dual displays in Clone mode under Windows
Media Center and want to just switch off my LCD but keep the TV on. Is this
possible?
