Command to make your monitor to go into the standby mode

Here is the command, using which you can force your computer monitor to go into the standby mode..

/usr/bin/xset -display :0.0 dpms force off

Since I have learned this command, I have stopped touching my monitor's power button.

P.S.: This commands requires ACPI enabled kernel. Also, it requires acpid to be installed in your system. In Ubuntu, these are installed by default.
