If brightness is supported also dim the monitor to 0

I am using this app on 10.10.2 Yosemite. It seems to work in that when I select which display to turn off (the internal display on my MBP) it turns the screen black, but I can see that the screen is still lit up. Is this normal? Is the display considered "off" in this situation in terms of using my computers resources?

Thanks, I appreciate this great and useful app!!

This is normal. I don't know if it is possible to change this behavior. Based on computer resources, I would say it is still on.

Thanks for your reply. Can you tell me if there's a difference between using your app to disable the display, or me turning the brightness of the display to off? (only because in my case I'm using it to disable the display on my MBP)

Yes there is a difference! When you turn the display off using the brightness it is off, but still in use. By using DisableMonitor the display might be still on, but is not in use.

This could be a new feature. So when there is brightness supported. Turn the brightness down and make the display unusable.
