Monitor turn off, resume with specific key

[n3rd4i]

Is there a posibility to turn off monitor natively in windows?
if yes how, i use a third party software for that, but the issue is this,
how can i resume the monitor from the "off state" with just the specific key / combination of keys?

is this a posibility, or its a hard coded function ?

i need some light in this.

the third party software is called poweroff

Windows has this native function to turn off the monitor after a designated period of time.

but i want a shortcut key control one, and a control resume also
that timed turn off is not good enough...

use the power button

You need to press a key on the keyboard to turn on monitor, why not press the power button like tangomouse suggested? :P

i was hoping more positive suggestions, the button one i cant do it cuz the monitor is too far and i cant reach it from the desk,
the second thing is, why the hell do i installed an operating system if he is unable to do what i need, hmm...



i managed to make a program (called poweroff) to "suspend" my monitor, with a button of a remote control (this is done tru a batch command file when the specific key is pressed)

@echo off
poweroff.exe monitor_off -immediate
exit

(i have the RC from a TV-tunner board), with some program i manage to reroute the button press destinations, to transform the remote in a general purpose one (the RC in the picture is exactly the same as mine...)


the drawback of this, is that when i press anykey on the keyboard, or i slighly move the mouse, the monitor turns back on, this will not permit me to work with the computer with the monitor off,
example: i want to use some keyboard shortcuts or remote control buttons, to change the "current state" of the computer...

conclusion, i need some specific shortcut (from my keyb or RC ) to return the monitor ON state... so if native windows can't help me, a third party software will do just fine...

The only thing I know of is TurnOffLCD but it would most likely do the same thing you're not wanting. I don't think such a program exists other then our fingers so...
