Hello! So glad this site is still here. Thanks to all of you who make it work!

I'm trying to set up the ideal working environment for my desk. I have nonstop rain sounds via YouTube. What I can't seem to do is make the screen completely dark. I can reduce the light to a certain point with the F1 and F2 keys. But not completely.

In essence, I want the screen to go to sleep but not the computer. In a perfect world it would wake right back up with a keystroke or a touch on the Magic pad. But I'm happy with something more complex if necessary.

It's a less common question than I thought. A web search left me empty for posts after 2016!

There's no practical way to turn the monitor away from my face. We're looking right at each other - limited real estate on the desk.

I'm on a new(ish - new last March) iMac, fully up to date with Tahoe 26.3.1.

Advice, please? Many thanks!
