Engaging the screen saver doesn't turn off the monitor. Also, using the Windows + L doesn't either, it only locks it.
So, you could try a utility at NirSoft called NirCmd which will do what you need, as well as many other things. You will just need to set up a short cut to the command needed and you are set.

For standbying the 2 monitors i am now using the progam 'LCDoff' , I was using 'monitoroff', both are very tiny utilities. PsycogeekPsycogeek
http://www.kev009.com/wp/projects/lcdoff/ I made a shortcut to it, and it works. One time a video playback program was running that disables monitor standby, other than that, it is working. Moving the mouse, or using the keyboard wakes it back up, so I assume it is triggering windows own standby routine.

Two settings can affect your monitor - the screen saver and power settings.
Change Screen Saver Settings
1. Right click on the desktop, then click Personalize.
2. Click Screen Saver on the bottom of the Personalization window.
3. To change how long until your screen saver activates, increase or decrease the number of minutes in the Wait box.
4. To enable or disable password protection, check or uncheck “On resume, display logon screen.”
