Operating on 3 hours sleep after driving 17, "simple" answer is "no" ;)

A more useful reply would be:
  1. Exactly what do you wish to accomplish. Actually removing AC line
     power from the monitor would require external hardware which would
     end up being driven by the word OUT.
  2. What is your system description:
     a. Hardware
     b. Specific OS
     c. PROBABLY KEY ITEM -- what BIOS
        Some BIOS's have ability to put some subsystems "to sleep"
        in order to reduce power consumption.

I'm not qualified to answer your question even given that information.

*HOWEVER* that information will allow qualified persons to answer your
problem. Please note that I differentiate between "problem" and
"request". After YEARS in customer support in a different industry, I've
learned that they are not always the same ;)
