Entirely broken on macOS Sierra with MBP 2016 #64
Description
Disabled monitor will either turn on again immediately (while still showing as disabled in DisableMonitor) or the disabled monitor will show a black screen, sometimes even a frozen cursor, instead of turning off.
It will at all time remain visible in the display preferences and also continue to consume GPU processing power.
Tested with
- Macbook Pro 2016 15", OSX 10.12.3
- LG Ultrafine 5K
- Eizo EV2736W
Issue occurs with either LG or Eizo connected.

FWIW, here are excerpts of the console messages when attempting to disable the second monitor:
