Turn Off Monitor Utility

More often than not, you leave your computer and want to prevent prying eyes from taking a peek at your monitor. It takes only a few clicks to reach the start menu and find the power options to sleep or shut down your PC. But what if you could close your monitors even faster? That is what the Turn Off Monitor Utility is designed for.

This particular application requires no installation, which is expected, since it is practically a shortcut to turning off all the computer’s monitors. In other words, the smart thing to do with it is to place it on the desktop or somewhere you have quick access. When the time comes to turn off your PC, you can do so using this application, much easier and much faster.

Turn Off Monitor Utility is built in C# as a console application, so no standard GUI is available. As soon as you double click on the main executable, a PowerShell command is executed and all the monitors connected to the host computer are turned off. The number of monitors is not important, as this application can turn them all off. Moving the mouse or stroking a button on the keyboard immediately turns all the monitors on.
