Tool which turns off monitor after inactivity interval in the proper way

All monitors i had (HDMI-capable ones) was unable go into standby mode when Windows turned them. My current one even shows "Check cable" message for few minutes and does not power on when i move my mouse.

So i decided to write a software which replaces default Windows monitor power management functionality. You need to disable monitor shutdown in control panel at first.

The software uses DDC/CI protocol to communicate with monitors, so you need to connect your one via DVI/HDMI.

Features:

  • Detects all connected monitors
  • Turns off monitor(s) after specified inactivity interval and turns them on
  • Reduces backlight level before after smaller inactivity interval
  • Turns monitor off before PC standby and turns on it back after power on/wake
  • Allows to turn off all monitor by one global hotkey

I used Qt and icon from Faenza icon pack :) (Please tell me i case i should write about OSS usage somehow else.)

It works only in Windows (7 and newer).
