There is no special button to turn it off using Fn. Although my old Acer Aspire had it. This was very convenient, especially when you download a game and the laptop does not interfere in the dark. I will be glad if you help me find this function

    Latest generation laptops with the Modern Standby protocol don't have that option anymore. You can try pressing F1 (Zzz) either with or without the Fn key or press the Power Button briefly (you have to define that function, see 2nd link below), you also can make a shortcut:

    @samueljosh No. Nothing helps. There is a button that switches the display, but even if you select transfer only to the second screen, the display remains on. There is also a screen lock key that simply goes to the password entry screen. I don't understand why they decided to change all this. It seemed like everything was fine on the old Acer nitro 5. For friends on Asus Tuf, everything also works as it should. Only I have so many lacks.

    Yes, it is weird that the Nitro 16/17 series has removed the sleep and turn-off display backlight functions. You can reconfigure the power button action to turn off the display in the QuickAccess (if you have this app).

    Please remember to include @AnhEZ28 when you want to reply back to my comment so that I can check your response.
    Thank you and have a nice day!

    @AnhEZ28 I don't have this feature in Quick Access. There is only a blueshield setting and a network sharing setting. I can change this power button option through control panel>power. But there is a minus in this method: the laptop works but the screen is blocked, thereby the download speed drops very much, sometimes it stops downloading altogether. Windows seems to be fighting with itself.........it's simply unbearable

    You can try out the ScreenOff app. This will turn off the laptop display only.
