Has anyone found a way to sleep the display on intel iMacs while during pla

Hi Data stream- the thing is- it's an intel iMac- so the only power switch is the computer itself. This puts the computer to sleep- thus stopping the program from running.

i just need the display part of it to sleep.

The reason- is because there is a very different aspect to the listening experience with and without the streaming shower of light that the screen emits. Even dulling it down to it's darkest setting- it still is quite present.

It's very nice to only be with the music, the monitors, the gear- ect. and not have to be bathed in the light. Simply turning around is one option, but it is just not the same, and the sound is different based on the design of our ears.

The cloth thing might just be the answer, although yes- the imac cools by venting at the top so i'll have to be careful.

I totally dig the eyes closed thing, but it is still a far different reality than no monitor and just the room. Eyes closed is like " i feel the computer light on my face, and am acutely aware of it", no monitor at all is almost like just having a console and no monitor.

thank you for your replies man

Bummer! that would be absolutely perfect. But it's incompatible with snow leopard.Thank you though- i will begin a search for a similar program.

It works yes, but not for any substantial period of time when a program like logic is running. It sleeps for just a second then runs back on again

Thank you for your response.

I have done this already. The issue is that it simply does not last for any longer than a few seconds. This is the dilemma I am trying to solve.
