Hey all, does anybody know of any way to get the standby function on most laptops be controlled by a timer, IE for the monitor to be put into and brough out of standby depending on time?

im trying to get a monitor to switch on in the morning

I know some desktops have in the BIOS a wake up on Lan, try your laptops BIOS it may give other options

Hmm basically, i want to control the enrgy properties of my laptop monitor, as we all know Energy Star Compliant monitors, can be suispeneded and woken up by the PC< this is what I want to be able to control by software, not necaserilly the pc itself.

Im basically turning a laptop into a picture frame, but dont want to kill the last lofe left in the TFT by having the monitor on 24/7 only when im around..

thanks for suggestions so far peeps..
