Turn off built-in MacBook display

How can I turn off built-in MacBook display, then connected to external display?


Look out this on internet, an setting down brightness is not a good solution.


Is there a way to toggle only one of the displays in macOS?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.4

On this Apple's page – Mac keyboard shortcuts - Apple Support – is indeed stated:


Control–Shift–Power button* or Control–Shift–Media Eject : Put your displays to sleep.
* Does not apply to the Touch ID sensor.


I don't have a MacBook Pro, so I can't test it. There's this thread addressing the same issue. Take a look and check if it helps:
