I investigated this for use on a similar project I am planning, I haven't got round to it yet but I plan to use the following...
http://www.grc.com/wizmo/wizmo.htm it is a small program that has commandline options to do things like turn off the monitor. I plan to use api to call the monitor off, then api again at the right time to send a few keystrokes to wake it up again. Hope it helps.
