FastMonitorOff

FastMonitorOff does not need too much analysis or explanation. The program does what the name indicates, and it does it without an interface or complicated settings. It is a portable program that once deployed will turn your screen off regardless of the type of machine you are using.

Yes, it needs to run on Windows, but whether it is a laptop, desktop tablet, or even phone, does not matter in the slightest.

The program itself is most likely based on a simple script, but one that you cannot deploy without the executable interface. The program is made available to all users, meaning it does not care if you have a lot or no knowledge in the IT field.

It will serve you the same and as far as its purpose is concerned, it is you the user who can find one for it because in theory, it can help in many situations.

If you want to quickly turn off the screen without having to employ the whole system of closing the machine itself or sending it to sleep, all you have to do is double-click the executable, and presto, you are set.

What I did not like was the fact that although the app was created to shut down just your monitor, when run on some devices it ended up sending them to sleep altogether.

Now this is not necessarily a bad thing, but in my case, it turned out to be quite annoying as resuming my computer from its nap did require me to deal with a couple of extra steps.

FastMonitorOff is a cool application designed to help any user deal with situations where a fast closing of the monitor would turn out to be the best solution. You can also have it close by on a stick or a similar removable device since it is portable or in your portable app kit. No matter the situation, you are well covered with this program.
