Is there a way I can make it that VDJ doesn't force the screen to always be on? I use another product where it doesn't force it to be on, and would like to see it the same with VDJ. Thanks!

Um, what?
Can't you just turn off your monitor?

It's more so like this. I have a couple setups in the house. I always keep them running as I like to practice turntablism, and leave either a loop loaded on one deck and some samples on the other deck. So, as I'm walking by one of the setups I usually have a little practice session. While not optimal, I could minimize the Window as recommended. Just thought there would be an option that could support it.

Just minimizing the window doesn't work. My power saving / screensaver hasn't kicked on. Sadly the Devices are AIO computers and no ability to shut off the monitors manually.

I have a .exe (perhaps it's a .bat) that calls a blank screen saver. On mouse touch it turns off.
I'll look for the name later.

here is a hack/work around if you really need it to be BLANK.
just create a JPG all BLACK.. Set it the options audiovisualation (somewhere in the that line) as a slideshow.
When it is displayed on the main monitor, double click it to expand....BINGO, instant BLACKNESS.

....but that still won't allow his power saving and/or screensaver to kick in, because VDJ is still running (which apparently prevents it).
Of course it's perfectly understandable that VDJ behaves this way because VDJ is designed for DJs to play live at gigs - and power saving or a screen saver kicking in is the ABSOLUTE LAST THING you'd want to happen.

here is another one (script)
This script written in Powershell can make this work for you.
# Turn display off by calling WindowsAPI.
# SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST,WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MONITORPOWER, POWER_OFF)
# HWND_BROADCAST 0xffff
# WM_SYSCOMMAND 0x0112
# SC_MONITORPOWER 0xf170
# POWER_OFF 0x0002
Add-Type -TypeDefinition '
using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
namespace Utilities {
public static class Display
{
[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
private static extern IntPtr SendMessage(
IntPtr hWnd,
UInt32 Msg,
IntPtr wParam,
IntPtr lParam
);
public static void PowerOff ()
{
SendMessage(
(IntPtr)0xffff, // HWND_BROADCAST
0x0112, // WM_SYSCOMMAND
(IntPtr)0xf170, // SC_MONITORPOWER
(IntPtr)0x0002 // POWER_OFF
);
}
}
}
'
[Utilities.Display]::PowerOff()
