Warning

Hi

The Original Project https://github.com/Eun/DisableMonitor displays this warning:

"It has been reported that the software is able to cause irretrievable damages to your computer."

Is this still the case in this fork?

Thank you.

I would like to know this too. What is this irretrievable damage?

Went and tried it anyway. It appears to work!

Simple menu bar icon. With 4 options (when external screen plugged in):

Color LCD- > Enable / Disable Samsung -> Enable / Disable Detect Monitors Toggle Mirror Mode

About Quit

It works perfectly!

Just Disable Color LCD, both screens will switch off and external screen comes on again. LCD stays off. (not just 0 brightness, so there is no power draw or fps drop!).

It's perfect, the backlit keyboard on the MacBook Pro works just like normal but with the screen off.

Running on MacOs Catalina and MBP

Only quirk is that the brightness of the LCD (black) screen sometimes increases. You should turn off auto brightness on the LCD to pervent this. Or just kill the brightness using F1.

Great app!
