Turning display off while playing video file in VLC player
Is there any option native to VLC player on windows to automatically turn off the display when playing a video in it? Could be handy when I want to listen only to audio with the screen off for battery efficiency.
I am using Windows 8 on Dell laptop.

If you use cvlc or nvlc, you can use the --no-video option:
nvlc --no-video "http://youtube.com/cool_music_video"
