If it's an energystar rated monitor, or other electric device, you can
find the details on it at http://www.energystar.gov
Even pushing the button on the monitor -- it might still be in 'standby'
thus using a little bit of juice -- the only real way to know it isnt.. is
an old fashioned style toggle switch that definitely cuts the circuit (like
on a power strip or power center) or of course, unplugging it.
