The easiest way would be to put a shortcut on your desktop to the blank screen screensaver (say that when you're drunk!) and just double click as needed. Saves writing a program to do the same thing. Or, am I misreading the question? :)

I found a delphi code to do this, and converted it.
Needs a window, though

Code:
#SC_MONITORPOWER= $F170
#WM_SYSCOMMAND = $112
window=OpenWindow(1,1,1,1,1,#PB_Window_Invisible,"")
SendMessage_(WindowID(), #WM_SYSCOMMAND, #SC_MONITORPOWER,2 )

Doesn't work properly here. It does put it in stanby mode with "1" or "2" but "2" doesn't turn it off. "-1" doesn't turn it on either.

It might have something to do if the mobo supports this feature or not. Can't seem to get it to work, oh well.

I've experienced the issue myself before!
The best solution (next to bying a super expensive super shielded monitor)
(a LCD make less radiation btw, might wanna try that)

Is to simply turn off the power of the monitor,
hit the record hotkey play then when done hit the record hotkey again to stop,
then turn on the monitor.
And when I say turn off/on, I mean the actual power button,
not any standby modes etc. as those still causes radiation,
or PSU load/hum in the monitor.

Also be aware that the monitor will leak radiation/interfearance even for a few seconds after the monitor has been turned off. wait at least 10 sec or more...
