Does Remote Desktop work with monitor off?

Oh, so this post here:

Actually, there is an elegant solution- which doesn't involve closing laptop lids or dimming displays.

All versions of Logmein [including Free] fully support the following features:

  • lock host keyboard + mouse
  • blank host screen

The "Black Screen" option requires the installation of a DPMS [Display Power Management Signaling] driver, which only takes about 5-10 seconds. After that, you can turn the screen on and off at will. The screen will instantly go into power save mode [i.e. the power LED changes colour/blinks etc.] The screen isn't just black- but completely off.

I've been using these features for 2 years at least- it's nothing new, and works perfectly.

You have to customize your Logmein toolbar to get these options to appear.

Ill test this out tomorrow when I m in front of his machine.

I do greatly appreciate the constructive answers that were given and it gives me some ideas or possible solutions to work with. Really frustrating for people to tell me to just turn the monitors off. He is a school principal and sometimes you leave unexpectedly, you do not go directly to the school after the weekend or next day, TON of people come in to your office all day long, and lastly he may just be touring the school and leave his office multiple times a day; this would be a huge pita the turn off three displays that are around his office [40+ inch tv, 15 inch, and 27 inch] in various spots for various reasons.

EDIT: He just emailed me back and told me he is using Splashtop 2
