Windows, how to auto switch the display on and off?

[megaphone]

Have a Windows 8 PC. I want the display to turn on at 7am and turn off at 7pm. I cannot see a way of doing this in the settings, any one know how? Do I need a utility?

Time switch on the power cord of the monitor.

Do you actually need the PC on with the screen off? If not, scheduled task to shut the PC down, bios setting to turn it on.

Here's a Powershell module to enable/disable the screen output, run each command/script as scheduled tasks at the appropriate times.

Yes PC needs to stay on, it boots into Chrome then needs a manual log-in to access the feed.

Yes that would work, only issue will be GMT/BST.
