The front power button will cause most monitors to cease using power.
However, letting the monitor turn itself off, after the connected computer has been turned off completely, will use very little power, close to none, and this course of usage is recomended by manufacturers including BenQ, LiteON and Samsung, whether leaving you computer on and inattended for an extended period of time, or leaving it off.
