How do I turn off an LG Ultrafine 4K display while connected?

I want to turn off an LG Ultrafine 4K display while connected to a macbook pro via thunderbolt? I daisy chain through the thunderbolt on this monitor to external hard drives and don't always want it on while it's rendering through the night. I often keep my mac closed in a dock and just use the monitor. God, I wish there was just an off button now.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.12

Turn off built-in display when using external monitors Hi Apple Community, I have a dual monitor setup for my MacBook Pro. The two monitors I'm using are a Samsung monitor and an iPad Air 2 running Duet Display. The setup works well, but there's a small problem. I keep my MacBook open so that there's ventilation and I just turn the brightness down to zero. However, the built-in display is still being read as a third display. This is causing a problem because sometimes my programs open in the unused display, and I have to turn the brightness up on my MacBook, find the window, bring it to the main display, and turn the brightness back down to zero. What I would like to do is turn off that display completely while using my other two monitors. I know that closing the lid of the MacBook is the simplest solution, but then there isn't as much ventilation. Plus, I do game development on it, and that can make the fan run. Is there a way I can turn off the built-in display on the MacBook Pro without closing the lid so that it only reads the two connected monitors? Any help would be much appreciated.
