I assume you're talking about a laptop? I turn off my monitors on my PC all the time and it doesn't cause any problems.
displayport spec is trash and windows will resize desktop and crash all your instances when you power off a displayport monitor in a multi-monitor setup

Is this still true? I have 2 display port monitors and they go to sleep if I don't have the game as main focus and I've not had issues with that. I've not done anything for it.

Computer-initiated sleep is fine. Displayport monitors that adhere to the spec don't send EDID when the monitor itself is powered off, so if you press the button you'll lose that desktop after EDID expires. A few newer monitors may have options to continue sending EDID data when the screen is turned off, but most don't.

HDMI and DVI-D spec pulls 5v power from the computer to power EDID chip so they can continue to tell the computer their resolution even if the monitor is not powered at the time.

I have my PC hooked into a home theater, I believe if I change the source of the AVR it won't crash the game, but turning off the AVR will. (I think my old AVR did not do this-but its been 6-7 years since I had that so I don't recall). dgvoodoo does fix this particular problem. I am currently using display port, I think between my cables, AVR and projector there's a flakey HCDP chip somewhere and I've had better luck with that than HDMI out of the computer. (also this particular computer I've had a litany of EDID and MSI issues, I think it was 3 or 4 things, took me months to figure it all out to work without "issue" (there's still one here and there but its basically random and not daily)

@maletaru I realize my mistake with the image thank you.

Anyways if someone does have recommendations for me to try in dgvoodoo it would be greatly appreciated.
