I'd suggest just putting it to sleep, unless you've got something that needs to stay running.

Or you can do this: http://www.maketecheasier.com/create-a-shortcut-to-turn-off-monitor-in-windows/

On Linux, it's just a matter of running the command 'xset dpms force off', either from a shortcut or setting up a keyboard shortcut.
