Here's the scenario. I want to put up a 32 inch Dell LCD on one wall which is adjacent to the all I have my imac on . . . .my seats are going to be directed to the LCD so the iMac screen is visible while I'm watching tv.
My question is - When mirroring my iMac onto the LCD, is there anyway to shut off the iMac screen so that there isn't the bright screen off on the side?

I don't think so.

Hey,
Can you not just turn the brightness of the iMac's display right down? That's what I do when watching videos on an external screen connected to my PowerBook. Use the F1 key.
Phil.
