Way to turn off iMac screen? - xazs - 2013-03-20

Is there any way to turn off iMac screen while using XBMC on my tv?
Any programs, plugins, or scripts?
Even at lowest brightness, it is too bright to enjoy watching movies on the bigscreen.
Edit*- I have a late 2009 intel iMac.

Look at the power Management Options in XBMC - i guess there is something like that.

what happens if you do cmd+shift+escape?
This just blanks the display.
xbmc should work in backround

yes Smile
sorry - I'm more on windows and don't have the mac keyboard here ^^

cmd+shift+eject is shut down, isn't it? This happened a few times to me :/
