I have two monitors connected to my MDD 867. One connected via DVI, and one via ADC. Both on the same stock graphics card.

Is it possible to put one of them to sleep when I'm not using it? I'd rather not install any software to do it, if possible.

MattK has got it.
"Power Button"

"Good heavens, Miss Sakamoto! You're beautiful!"
"If we dig precious things from the land, we will invite disaster."
"Near the day of Purification, there will be cobwebs spun back and forth in the sky."
"A container of ashes might one day be thrown from the sky, which could burn the land and boil the oceans."

The monitor I want to "sleep" is a 15" Apple LCD. The power button is one of those sensor types that you just put your finger over or something and it not only turns off the monitor, but the computer, as well. At least I think that's what it's doing.

Am I correct? Or is there something I'm missing?

you might have some control over it in the monitors control panel. otherwise you're out of luck. (yes, its annoying that some of those displays only sleep the whole machine)

Inelegant, but the individual brightness control is as close as you'll get to sleeping a single monitor.

You're right- the button on the Apple monitor powers off the computer.

There is another "button" on the left side of the monitor which will open Display Prefs. This may be faster than selecting the prefs from System Prefs or from the Display icon in the menubar.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

In the Display Prefs under the Options tab.:
Display Power Button
Turns the display on and off
Puts the system to sleep or wakes it
Does nothing
