Unlike desktop monitors, most laptop screens don't have a button that will turn them off separately from the computer itself. This can be problematic if you have a long download or virus scan that you want to run while not at your computer. Luckily, it is still possible to turn off your laptop's monitor without shutting down the laptop itself.
