This doesn't work for me :(
$ xrandr --output LVDS off
usage: xrandr [options]
where options are:
-display <display> or -d <display>
-help
-o <normal,inverted,left,right,0,1,2,3>

As you can see it only lists xrandr help and does nothing to laptop screen.
When I run xrandr --properties I get monitors to flash and this output:
$ xrandr --properties
