MonitorES is a small Windows system tray utility that helps you to turn off your monitor when you lock down your machine (Win + L). Also when you lock your machine, it will pause all of your running media programs & set your IM status message to "Away" / custom message (via options) and restore it back to normal when you come back.
According to these research statistics we could save a lot of energy by turning off monitors.
