I'm currently using Windows 7 and I can set my monitor to turn off after a certain number of minutes. However, the issue is that it turns back on whenever I receive a message or notification. What I really want is for the monitor to stay off until I decide to do something, not just because a program or message triggers it. Is there any way to achieve this?

You might want to consider just manually turning off your monitor when you step away. It's not the perfect solution, but it keeps it safe from accidental wake-ups from notifications.
Yeah, I get that. What I really need is for the monitor to turn off on its own if I stop using it for a while. I have roommates, and I work on sensitive stuff. I don’t want them seeing anything I was looking at.
