Set the Display properties.

Right-click anywhere on the desktop, click on 'Properties', select the tab 'Screen Saver', click on the button 'Power' in the section labelled 'Monitor Power' this opens a window whereby you can select a time for the monitor to turn off. BTW I usually leave the hard drive on 'Never Turn Off' as some systems have trouble coming back up when the hard drive has turned off and it cannot access the restart command that has been placed in the virtual memory on the hard drive; this is only a problem with some systems but it is not worth taking the risk with.

I have always found that Nyquil works for me. Alternately you can try the steps suggested by the other 'smart' guys :)
