Monitor Off

Monitor Off is a small software application developed specifically for helping you put your monitor into the power saving mode with the aid of simple clicks. It can be installed on all Windows versions out there.

It takes nothing more than a fast and basic installation process where you have to press on a few ‘Next’ buttons in order to bring the task to an end. You may opt for placing a shortcut of Monitor Off on your desktop on or other location that you find it suitable for running the program with ease.

The icon on the desktop can be used to immediately switch to power saving mode without having to set up any other additional configuration parameters. A help manual is not included in the package, only a ‘Readme’ file that provides some extra details about the configuration process.

Tests have pointed out that Monitor Off carries out a task pretty quickly. It is friendly with system resources so you do not have to worry that it affects the overall performance of your computer.

There’s support for several configuration settings, but they can be tweaked only via the command-line console. You need to have some previous skills into inputting commands in the CMD environment. Monitor Off offers you the possibility to make the tool work only during certain hours of the day.

You may input the following syntax in the command-line console ‘/T:hhmm-hhmm,’ where ‘hhmm’ represents the start and/or end time values. For example, you can make the utility activate the power saving mode only between 2AM and 6AM by entering the following command: ‘/T:0200-0600.’

To sum things up, if you are looking for nothing more than a simple software solution for helping you activate the power saving mode on the fly, you may give Monitor Off a try and see what it can do for you.
