Depending on the manufacturer of the laptop, Dell for instance, the function key (fn) + F8 will toggle the display between Laptop monitor only, second display, such as data projector only, of display on both. So you could press function + F8 until the laptop display is black.

Before doing that one should go to the power option and select: 'When I close the lid, do nothing'. Vetri.

My laptop does noes have a hotkey to turn off the display. Is there any way for me to turn off the display and continue working on my laptop?It would be a major battery saver.
