  • turn off iMac screen but not external monitor???

    Posted by Trent Whittington on April 25, 2009 at 5:47 pm

    Hey Guys,
    Was wondering if there is a way on my iMac 10.5.6 to turn off my iMac screen without turning off my external monitor of mini dvi?
    I can turn off both screens by holding shift+ctrl+eject but is there a way to turn off just the iMac screen?

    thanks.

    Nope sorry.

    There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
    Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity!

    Have you thought about a piece of black matte board to fit perfectly over the screen of the iMac? You can have a frame store cut it to fit perfectly for very inexpensively. Just a thought…
