Wrong iMac. The G4 iMacs have the LCD screen on a swing arm. Unless
the OP meant a G3 Flower Power. The G3 iMacs do turn off the screen.
AFAIK this powers off the CRT as in other modern CRT monitors. Normally
this is done by the Energy saver software, I don't know how it could be
done by other means.
