Fully power down monitor using cron?

[Worldfrog]

So I'm wanting to use cron to make my monitor turn on and off at certain times, but every way I've seen to turn off the monitor just leaves mine on a blue screen saying no input. I have tried these 2 options and have seen no others:

Code: Select all

tvservice -o

Code: Select all

vcgencmd display_power 0

Any help is appreciated

I've heard that only TVs have cec. Would this work with a regular monitor as well?

Try it. May work, probably won't.
