MacBook Pro won't sleep with external monitor

Hello,


have a problem. I'm using external monitor with my MacBook Pro. If I close the lid, I see all windows on external monitor and Yosemite won't sleep. Can you help me please? My external monitor is Samsung 21.5" and I'm connecting it to MacBook Pro via DVI.

Hey Renecek,


My first thought was, "Hey, you are using closed-clamshell mode".

But then I realized, wait, you want it to sleep.


For that, check out the suggestions in these articles.
