Hi
I went to power options and selected to turn off monitor after one minute of inactivity. But the monitor will not turn off if SB is in fast mode or slow mode. I guess because that's considered "activity"
is there a way to turn off laptop monitor when SB is running?
 
close the lid? and keep the laptop running?
At least my laptop monitor is off when i do that
 
press Fn and the key with the box icon with an x inside. The key varies depending on laptop model. Other laptops go standby when closed
 
Change the screensaver settings to blank screen.

hi. it is a dell inspiron 5100 and I dont see the key that you are talking about
 
try to lock it instead of logging off or putting in standby mode. I use asus a1215t
 
You need to look into your power options, I would think you could set it to turn off monitor after x minutes
 
This one does the job (windows), and it's free. I use it on my 'slave' laptops that don't have a display off button. I leave it at default settings, put the shortcut in the startup folder and just press shift + F1 to turn the display off.
