@waydabber commented on GitHub (Sep 1, 2021):

Well, some displays support power mode 0xD6 command and has the ability to turn itself off if 0x5 is set as a value. This is not universal however. I now added this into the wishlist of planned advanced control options in this issue: https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl/issues/524

Please feel free to comment in that issue and track its progress. I'll close this one so we don't have a duplicate. Thank you!
