I'm not an expert, but I did find this link. Please let us know if this
works and if the "hack" can be found as specified in the posting. I think
this could be extremely helpful when I get my Imac in a couple of weeks.

sorry, every method I know of is temporary. even if you set the
brightness
to 0 it comes back on reboot. I guess you could put it to sleep instead
of
shutting it down and use either screen curtain or 0 brightnes. Neither
actually turn the monitor off though. 4 hours is a good bat life though.

Subject: Looking for a way to turn monitor off
Hey all. I am finding that when I use my Macbook on battery, I only
have about 4 hours of battery life. Checking the Better Battery Life
option under the status menu actually lessens the time. I am wondering
if there is a way to turn the monitor off. I don't need it, and I'm
going to be using the Mac in a teaching setting where it will have
confidential info on it that I don't want people seeing. Could
somebody please tell me a way to disable the monitor. I know about the
screen curtain, but that is only temporary. Thanks for the help.
