Is there a tool that can automatically power off monitor on inactivity?

Question

I am using lxde and that, unlike gnome, has no option to power off display after certain time. The screensaver can only display black screen which is still consuming lot of energy.

Is there any tool that could after N minutes turn off the display and start it on key / mouse event?
