Re: Sleep When turn off LCD Monitor

Hi,

interesting idea. Have a look at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_Data_Channel
and
http://ddccontrol.sourceforge.net/

I managed to switch the Input (HDMI and DVI) on my monitor with this tool some time ago. So it should be possible to get the state of the monitor too.
