Turning off studio display while projecting.

While using a projector as an extended display with my Mac Studio, I would like to put my studio display to sleep to minimize the ambient light in the room for the projection. I have tried to set up hot corners to "put display to sleep" but this sends the projector into "no input" mode.

Mac Studio, macOS 13.5

Studio Display on all night with my M1 mini - wasting energy How to have studio display (Thunderbolt3) turn off at night? I have to leave mini on (i.e., I don't log off but lock account) as backups occur overnight and need to remote access when on trips. You would think something this expensive would have an on/off switch to save energy and concern about LED's on all night. Even with screen saver on, it wakes up at night for backup and brightens the room - tough on getting to sleep! My 27 iMac never had this issue. do I have to buy a Tb3 on/off switch? Thanks!

Make Mac sleep when close lid attached to external monitors - MB Pro 14" 2021 I have my Macbook Pro 14" (2021) attached to external monitors through a CalDigit TS3+. When I close my Macbook lid, I want it to put everything to sleep. Instead, my external monitors remain active and open. Someone could walk by my desk and start using the computer with the external keyboard and mouse. How can I make it so closing the lid kills the external monitors until I reopen it? Everything I've found on this topic doesn't seem to apply to MacBook Pro 14" with M1.
