What does the below do for you? Does it blank both the monitors?
| Code: | ; Copy - Pasted from AHK Documentation
#o:: ; Win+O hotkey that turns off the monitor.
Sleep 1000 ; Give user a chance to release keys (in case their release would wake up the monitor again).
; Turn Monitor Off:
SendMessage, 0x112, 0xF170, 2,, Program Manager ; 0x112 is WM_SYSCOMMAND, 0xF170 is SC_MONITORPOWER.
; Note for the above: Use -1 in place of 2 to turn the monitor on.
; Use 1 in place of 2 to activate the monitor's low-power mode.

Regards, 
PS: Nice to hear from you after a long break ..

Dear kiu,

That was not a solution.. I wanted to confirm it before I could google for possible Windows API solutions. It looks to me that it is less possible ( if not impossible ).
Give me sometime .. I will post again!
Regards,

I happen to be also very much interested in this; turning off only one monitor (either primary or secondary, or even a possible third one) at the press of a button.
I've done some research on this issue, but could only come up with a few clues, no real solutions:
http://www.xtremevbtalk.com/showthread.php?t=262334
One caveat: When using Windows' regular power-saving mode to turn off a monitor, any mouse or keyboard activity would make it turn on again.
This means that I couldn't control, say, the video player on the secondary screen while keeping the primary disabled.
I've looked into WIZMO and MonOff, but those seem to turn off all monitors.
There's also UltraMon, but that can only turn off the secondary monitor(s) - so the primary is always on, also when watching videos on the secondary.
