** Description changed: If you have a laptop with external monitor attached, and you close the laptop lid, the external screen should not blank. Idealy, to save power, heat, etc. the laptops screen would be shut off, but that's a bonus. A use case here: watching movies on a TV, you often want to close the laptop because it's distracting to have two versions of the movie playing. + + Another use case: very often, people use their laptop or netbook as a + docking station, with external keyboard and external monitor.
