Question Turn On Monitor with signal

[Zexor]

If my monitor is asleep, i sent a

        NativeMethods.PostMessage(New Runtime.InteropServices.HandleRef(form, HWND_BROADCAST),
                                  WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MONITORPOWER, MONITOR_ON)

to turn the monitor on but then it say no signal from the pc and went back to sleep, do i need to move the mouse or something instead to wake the pc from monitor sleep mode?

It would probably have less impact than sending a keypress - for example SendKeys.Send with Escape key can also wake monitor.
