Screen On/Off

Jan 12 2010 5:38 PM
I'm currently dabbling into digital signage and I'm having troubles with a monitor turning off on me. My question is this : is there a way in C# code that I can tell if a monitor is currently on or off? I'm writing an alert system for me since I cannot correct the monitor's issue at this time.

I've tried looking into system.manager, system.environment, and systeminformation... but was unable to find anything which was able to tell me the monitor's current state.

Specs:
Monitor : Samsung TV
PC: Windows XP PRO 32-bit
