Is there a command in Windows 8 to

Keep the computer awake (not making it sleep, there's closing folding it up for that) but turn the display off? My power settings are configured so that when it's plugged it, the display stays on for 20 minutes. Is there a command I can do that will automatically turn the display off?

click on the battery icon in the desktop mode, then choose "more power options"
there should be an option saying "choose when to turn off the display"
adjust the time as necessary
