The M-Fn button next to the shutter is configured on my M5 to work as a screen on-off. Very useful.

Easily found in the menus or manual.

This works, sort of. I set the M-Fn button to turn off the display, and it did, until I used the EVF. When I removed my eye from the EVF, the display came back on.

This custom setting turns off the display temporarily, but if the original poster wants to turn it off for good, I'm not sure that's possible.
