Modern monitors are, so far as I know, not subject to the damage which
screen-savers were invented to protect against.  But if they were, turning
off the monitor would provide the same protection.

  What it *won't* do is prevent the screen-saver from trying to *run*, and
thus activating the swap file and interrupting the defrag process.  You need
to actually turn off the screen-saver to do that, not just the monitor.
