Configure laptop's lid angle to turn off the monitor, viable?
I just bought a new laptop; ASUS N55SF-S1070V, and I have to completely close the lid to turn off the monitor. My former one turns its monitor off when I close the lid for, say 45deg, and I really love it as it helps the cooling.
The built-in hotkey to turn off the monitor first appeared to work, but when I looked closely, it just turn off the backlight or something. I can still see the screen's content!
I'm now using some apps to force turn off the monitor, but it's a bit inconvenient.
I've been wondering: is there a way to configure the angle in which the monitor will turn off automatically? I've read a post elsewhere saying there's a built-in hardware based switch that detects this action, and it can't be configured otherwise. Is this true? I'm hoping to see a registry hack, a code injection or something.
Ideas, anyone?
Thanks!
