Turn Off Monitor

Turn Off Monitor is a small Windows application designed with a single goal in mind: to help you turn off the monitor of your PC, notebook, or netbook with minimal effort. It comes in handy especially when you want to save some battery and need to carry out several tasks that do not require the monitor to be turned on.

Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.

You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to turn off your monitor on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.

Turn Off Monitor doesn’t offer support for a graphical user interface, so you are required to launch the EXE file each time you want to activate the “turn off” mode. The tool doesn’t ask for you confirmation in order to trigger the task. It actually executes it automatically.

Tests have shown that Turn Off Monitor carries out a task very quickly and without errors. It leaves a minimal footprint on system resources, so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.

On the downside, the program doesn’t sit quietly in the system tray waiting for your command, so you need to manually open the EXE file each time you want to turn off your monitor. It would have been useful to see support for scheduled tasks and user-defined hotkeys.

To sum things up, Turn Off Monitor proves to be a simplistic piece of software that offers a straightforward software solution for helping you turn off your monitor.
