You can't power down a monitor via code. But you may be able to put the system into sleep mode or maybe turn on the screen saver. Don't ask me how to do this, I'm just providing an idea.

Are you sure?[^] It can be done locally but perhaps not remotely.

The code sample that is here on CP will work, but only for monitors that support it and only on the local machine. You'll have to write two applications to do this remotely. One app that runs, probably as a service, on each machine you want to control and one that sends the command to the service running on each machine.
