Question for anyone running a newish iMac - Can you turn the screen fully off, but leave the machine running (as in not in standby)?



Thanks.

System Preferences, Energy Saver button allows you to set it up so it will shut off the display automatically.

Go the the Expose/Spaces button and you can set up a hot corner to "put display to sleep", then just drag the mouse to whichever corner you selected and it will turn the display off.

Thanks - but does that mean if the mouse gets knocked, the display comes back on?

Yes.  If you move the mouse or hit a key on the keyboard it will wake it back up.
