Apple Studio Display w macbook pro

I bought this really expensive monitor and so far like it but no power button could be a deal breaker.

The laptop is running clamshell, i am currently rendering videos which takes several hours to do. I want the monitor off so I don’t light up the entire room for no reason and conserve a little energy.


Don’t tell me to unplug the monitor, that’s just a stupid idea as I would loose power to laptop.


Any help?

For all those with a similar setup I found a working function.


Control + Shift + Eject


This will put the display to sleep immediately, the laptop was still running at full tilt processing a video (fans screaming).

This appears to be the software equivalent of a power button.


Checked a few hours later and the monitor was still turned off.


There you have it.
