AFK gaming screen HELP!!!!

[Doodlegame]

Hia!

 

On one of my favourite games, Trove, a free to play MMO voxel game I like to AFK the PVP Arena at night on a Sunday as it is PVP bonus xp day.

Anyways the light from my computer disturb me in the night and stop me from getting to sleep even on the lowest brightness.

Is there any way to make the screen go blank, with the game open, without using screensaver/sleep? All help appreciated!!

 

Thanks!

 

P.S. Please don't criticise me if I have posted this in the wrong topic, I couldn't decide wether it should go here or in off topic. Just tell me where it should go

Power button on your Screen, or, if you use a laptop: There is a option in windows that nothing happens if you close it.

1) set it to do nothing when the lid is closed and close the lid (not recommended as some laptop require some passive cooling from the keyboard area)

2) there should be a button on your keyboard to disable backlight on the screen, normally at function keys

You could put a rag over the screen too

Doesn't AFKing in a PvP type situation bother your teammates? Forgive me if im wrong but i havn't played a lot of PvP in different games but the ones i have people tend to get really nasty about non-participation.
