Use a MacBook with the main display off
Umm...what, exactly, is the advantage to this method versus simply holding the screen dimmer button until the display blackens? Seems like a whole lot of out-of-the-way silliness for a simple result if you ask me, but perhaps someone has a good explanation? Inquiring minds wanna know...

The real use for this is that the internal screen is not only not showing anything, but isn't using any resources either. Thus if you run a higher resolution on the external screen (as I do with my PowerBook G4 all the time) you do not take the performance hit of having to drive the internal screen, too.

You cannot loose your cursor on a display that is off, you can do so on one that is dimmed.

Turning down the brightness actually doesn't power off the monitor, and it still puts out some heat. I wouldn't recommend doing this with the lid almost closed (ie, down but not locked in). Also, if you look close enough even with the brightness at 0%, you can, barely mind you, still see the stuff on the screen. |
