I have not used in myself, but it looks like you should be able to do it with the help of this utility:

If you try it out, I would appreciate you posting back here with your results.

How did you make it work? Would you mind sharing the card?
I can't figure out how to setup the command!

First, I downloaded the program from: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/multi_monitor_tool.html
the download link is near the bottom of the page.

I then created a folder called:
C:\Program Files\multimonitortool-x64

I then unzipped the downloaded file and copied it to the folder I just created (above).

Here is the needed Push2Run Card that worked for me:

ss1.jpg (77.04 KiB) Viewed 1372 times
Turn_the_monitors_off.p2r
(622 Bytes) Downloaded 191 times

Please note, my system has two monitors, so the parameter used was:
/Turnoff 1 2
if you only have one monitor you would use:
/Turnoff 1
if you have three monitors you would use:
/Turnoff 1 2 3
etc. etc.

Of note, when run on my system the monitors were powered off. I had to manually power them back on by pressing their power buttons.

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot! It turns out the only mistake i did on my card was the "hidden" window, once changed it to "normal" than everything worked flawlessly!

About the note on turning the monitors OFF i can give you an advice this time!
I made a copy of the same card and changed:
/TurnOff 1 2
to
/TurnOn 1 2

and it works!

I have a problem where one of the 2 monitors i have doesn't power on but well, it's really really old so i'm not surprised.

Thanks again for your help!
