NirCmd Command Reference - monitor

monitor [action]
Changes the state of the display monitor. The [action] parameter may contain the following values:
  • off: Turn off the monitor
  • async_off: Turn off the monitor. Use this value if NirCmd remains in memory when using monitor off.
  • on: Turn on the monitor
  • low: Set the monitor to low power state.

This command only works in systems that support this feature. If you have a problem that NirCmd remains in memory when using this command, you may try to use async_off, async_on and async_low actions instead of on/off/low actions.
Examples:
monitor off
monitor on
monitor async_off
