How to make my screens go black

[synnack]

You could also just activate a "blank" screensaver which would apply across all monitors.

Blank screen saver... And you'd hit the "Test" or "preview" button or whatever it is..

You'd just need to have that settings palette open.

yes descent idea as well. Will try. Thanks

Now I shall share with you my brilliant idea! Back when I didn't know any better and used windows, I mapped a hotkey to the blank.scr screensaver file. Not sure if you can do it in Win7 but get the properties for the file and in one of the tabs there was an option to assign a hot key command.

I would hit ctl-alt-b and instant black screen. Then move your mouse and it's back to normal. Great for A/B'ing things and you don't need to install any other software etc etc..
